If gender is a factor in the Women's game, I expect race to be a factor in the Men's game. Also considering that the majority of college players tend to be of a certain race, I would expect Men's assignors to find officials that look like many players and even coaches. I bet the MEAC and SWAC are looking more for a certain race of an official as compared to other conferences. We need to stop living in this fantasy world where we only think people are chosen for anything based on how good they are. How good someone is very subjective anyway. People are hired at the college level for all kinds of reasons and often it has nothing to do with how good you are.
