No link. From what I hear of, if you include playoff payment (because all officials get playoff money whether they work them or not) its about 200k starting, up to about 500k.

1st year official makes 84K base, plus about 20K in a playoff share even though they will not work games. Plus they get a per diem, travel expenses which they make a few bucks on and so forth. Basicall, 1st year refs make about 140K. 30 Year vets will make close to 500K

That sounds about the same as I heard from a rookie NBA ref last spring after his first season.
