[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

Is the UIL a private organization like the OhioHSAA, MichgianHSAA, FloridaHSAA, NCAA, etc.?

No, it is a state agency with its charter through the University of Texas.

I like that this should put the UIL effectively out of the business of managing officials but we'll see if they try to weasel around that.

You can thank Ed Thompson, former Houston Football Chapter President for authoring this bill and helping to get it to the governor's desk.

The new 1204 (not yet effective) pay will be $60 for varsiry and $50 for sub-varsity baseball. Other sport fees are stated in the 1204 document read it here.

I am not clear on what the mileage reimbursement will be. My understanding is that chapter and schools must agree upon the mileage reimbursement method to be used prior to the season start (metro or non-metro method).

The metro or non-metro status is determined by the distance from the center of the chapter to the school. Less than 40 miles, metro rates, more than 40, non-metro status.

So by the UIL link, gate is being taken out of the picture except for football. And the $10.00 rider fee is too low.

I was wrong on the date to set the mileage reimbursement, it's August 1 instead of September 1.

This will probably change if/when the lawsuit is finally put to bed.

I always considered the Rider fee a gift.

So $60.00 for a varsity game, and $50.00 for a sub varsity game.

Glad I chose not to deal with that crap anymore........bad enough when I was doing all the driving (mileage), and having to split it with my partner. I was making about 25 cents a mile, and they were making about $3.00 per mile in some cases

The metro pay schedule is going to be interesting. For those of us who live out in the burbs a ways from the city center and commute in to work, games close to home will pay better in mileage than those near work. Right now it's just the opposite. All told I'll see a net gain for most games I work but I won't have much incentive to drive very far out of the way if I can avoid it.

Back when, our pay started from downtown Dallas, and the further out you went the more money you made. A travel fee for me back then I could drive two miles to a nearby school and make $16.00. My partner might have to drive thirty miles, and get the same 16.00. I simply got tired of driving to a game where I would have made $36.00 travel on my own, but the other person with the shortest drive got to split the highest mileage with their partner. We each made $18.00 for example.

If they were going to pay us by mileage, pay the person for the mileage they drove. I got stuck the first year of this working some DISD sub varsity games solo that where close to my house. I was making $8.00, and doing the game by myself.

Set fees are much better............especially to the person who drives the farthest.
