Baby It's Cold Outside (Dean Martin) ...

Exactly why I decided not to step up and do college about 35 years ago. Plus, back then, there were few high school games on Saturdays (never on Sundays here in Connecticut) and weekends (with the exception of some local Saturday morning recreation games) were family time for me after working high school and recreation games almost every weeknight.

Gyms are just as full for a lower level college game as I see in most of my high school games. Last night was a perfect example. I had a D3 game last week that had more fans watching the game.
It is all about where you are. But I would rather make $175-$200 for the same basic amount of time. And you see better ball. But to each his own. Peace

You're in an area fortunate enough to have several college options in close proximity. That is not the case in a lot of places. A lot of college officials here are driving 3-5 hours (one way) to games on a regular basis. There are certainly local games, but there are only a handful as close as all the HS games.

Partner and I talking before tonight’s game. He recalled one day years ago when he had four youth games and then a varsity game on a Saturday. Total fees were $200. Then Mr. College Assignor calls. “Need you tonight for a men’s game at 8pm.” Gave all his local games back to the disdain of the local assignors. 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It would be interesting to see if the lawsuit makes college evaluators and observers be more transparent with their records. Dumping old officials in favor of young officials might seem suspicious, especially with good evaluation reports (according to the officials), unless there is good evidence in the reports that the old officials can't cut it anymore. |

Is that because college assigners have a similar mindset when it comes to D1 assigners taking officials from lower-level assigners on the day of?

Again it is what you value. I have been working high school games for a long time and had some fun, but I like to be challenged and working a ton of high school games all the time is not as challenging. The crowds used to be a draw, but not anymore. Peace
