Three D1 Refs Suing NCAA & Alliance Affiliated Leagues

Four hours away plus had to pick up partners along the way. Oh, and had to be there two hours early for college. So he left a little after noon, and got back at 2am. Fee = $175.

His local assignments suffered from lack of dependability thereafter. Next time Mr. College Assignor called with a last minute assignment, he said “no.”

That was the last year he worked college. He doesn’t regret it one bit.

If you are working for someone who won't let you say no to a day-of assignment, you are working for a bad assignor.
