I guess I want to ask this of the folks from Virginia: Did the number of officials grow when the girls season moved to coincide with the boys?

This I want to ask of the Michigan folks: Are the number of officials that work both seasons, as opposed to one of the season proportionally high or what? I'm still having a little trouble grasping the shortage issue here.

That is want I am thinking as well. I know officials that can only work one sport because their families and job have a problem with so much time away. If the girl's season was normally in the fall, I am sure some football officials were not available to work. If you combine the seasons, then not many has to worry about another sport (popular sport) to get in the way. It would seem to me the numbers would grow.
