What Camron is saying is that the problem persists at the college level too because several conferences will use the same assignor. For example, if the MWC, PAC-12, WCC, and Big12 all use the same assignor and his pool of officials, then you are in the same situation as a single HS association.

Makes sense. Poor wording choice by me.

On this side of the country, an assignor may have multiple conferences, but it doesn't mean an official will work or sign a contract for all those conferences. Regardless of how many conferences a supervisor has, most college officials work for multiple supervisors.

One of my college assignors is the assignor of multiple high school conferences. I work for him both in high school and college levels. I work for many other high school and college supervisors too.

I got SC's point totally. There seems to always be some drama that goes around with an association, either by someone in a leadership role either doing something that might be unfair to the group or that sounds like something that violates the independent contractor position. I am so glad I do not live in that situation exclusively (at least in Illinois). If I have issues or the conference has issues with their assignor, they hire someone else or we can choose as officials to work for someone else. I do not work for every assignor in our area for many reasons. It is very much like a college situation where I can prioritize certain leagues over other leagues and work what we want on many levels.

Peace
