Football is back on... Good for that association and the others that supported them. A deal is in the works.

Seems that not everyone supported them as a crew from outside the area came and worked the game Thursday night.

Additionally, the schools/FHSAA are not going to pay the extra $10 per referee for the rest of this season. A private business stepped in and donated the money to cover that. Probably leaving the referees back in the same situation next Fall. So although the officials will receive an extra $10 per game this season, it doesn’t appear that they’ve made any progress with the schools or the state association.

From the above article:
“Though the officials' holdout is done, the refs will not receive any more money from the schools. However, they will receive more money thanks to a $9,000 donation from a group of local businessmen headed up by Brian Rist, founder and executive chairman of hurricane protection company Storm Smart.
The money will go toward giving the officials the $10-per-game raise they were seeking from the schools.”

6-hour drive and a one-hour rain delay and if they didn't get extra compensation, they have undermind officials for getting a raise.

I really starting to hate "doing it for the kids"!!!
