What is the title of the article and can you provide a link? I have been looking all over and cannot find anything about the current status and it seems early 2016 was when the latest information was given.

Apologies for going off-topic, but this thread seems already settled and/or dying, so ... Billy, why do you always post those game fees as if that's what you guys actually get? Always makes it seem a lot more impressive than it actually is (even though it still ends up being very high on the national scale regardless).

Isn't there a fairly significant percentage that comes right off the top in the form of a kickback to your assignor, or is it on the officials to send that money along themselves after they're paid the full fee by the schools?

The local boards charge a certain % as an "assigning fee". On my board, it is 7% of the total fees for commissioner assigned games. From that 7%, there a some that goes to the commissioner and the rest goes to the board coffers. I believe my commissioner gets 3% and the board 4%.

The schools actually send me a check (or Arbiter transfers funds into my checking account) for $94.63.

At the end of the season I pay an assignment fee of 7% that goes into our local board's general fund, not directly to our assignment commissioner, who receives an annual salary ($32,550.00, seventy schools, 350 members) from our board regardless of how many games he assigns. I also have to pay annual local board dues of $125.00, and of course, Uncle Sam eventually gets income taxes (after deducting mileage, dues, fees, insurance, uniforms, shoes, equipment, laundry, etc.), and social security contributions.
