seriously considering

[Smitty]

The only reason I brought up the college/pro thing was because it seemed like the original poster must have certain aspirations of either making officiating a career or just doing it for the power aspect of being an official. It just seemed odd to me that the guy was ready to give it up so quickly. Officiating 3 sports, essentially year-round, why would you do it if you didn't love the game and enjoy it just for what it is? If working varsity is that important, I'm guessing it might have been more of a power thing than a fun thing to begin with. Bragging rights maybe? I don't get it at all.
