Not all college conference officiating pays anywhere near as much as you think it does. DI major conference, yes absolutely. Work at the DII and DIII levels and some schools pay the same or less than what officials working high school make.
The DII conference I went to school in was one of the lowest paying in the country for DII and DIII when I was there. I worked HS ball with officials who also did games in the conference and they said there were high schools that paid more than what they got for a college varsity game. The only difference was that the conference started paying for some travel expenses, something that is very rare for high school officials in this state.
