I wouldn't do this for free. Yes, I enjoy officiating but I don't think anyone here is getting rich off of it and I don't expect to either. I do expect to be compensated for my effort and at some point the pay can be so low that it isn't worth my time. Some guys around here are willing to drive 2 hours each way to work a varsity game, which is fine. I'm not willing to do that for $60-$70. I do drive up to 45-60 minutes or so one way for a varsity game. Given the option of taking a 1/3 pay cut to work 3 person or continuing to work 2 person for the full fee, I would work 2 person every time. If schools don't want to pay the additional cost of an extra official, don't hire one. I guess each person has their own limits on travel and pay. I would also guess that those that say they don't do it for the money still cash the checks that they receive for each game.
