Maui Invitational

I love seeing this development in basketball and in football (and in maybe other sports as well). It's one thing to have female officials. It's another thing altogether to have female officials working men's contests, because like it or not, that's where the vast majority of viewership (and hence visibility) is. That's the golden ticket to recruiting good new officials (which we desperately need nationwide) from a whole half of the population that the avocation tends to overlook.

I think we're within 2-3 years of having a female white hat in the NFL that has earned the promotion solely on merit. Wouldn't that be something. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen one yet in a college football TV game, though maybe it has happened and that channel just wasn't in my cable package!
