Also, I'm wondering how they found out the amount of the officials' game checks. Is tht covered by FOIA in Florida, perhaps?

I think the game fees are close to accurate, but the amount of games they talked about working was

Tomegun...could you eleborate on what you mean? I'm just not getting what you're saying here...I'm probably being dense, but if you could help me out it would be appreciated.

The article mentioned Ted Valentine doing 70 games - or maybe it said more than 70 games. I think he does considerably more than that. Maybe not the 120 Welmer does, but more than 70.

Look at this. http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/UncleLar/35682 It appears he is at around 80 around March 10th.

Always getting that shot in on Welmer...I love it

Now I get what you're saying. Teddy V does do a ton of games, but I feel like he does fewer games than he used to. What conferences does he work now? Definitely SEC and ACC. Does he still do Big 10? I haven't seen him do any Big 12 or Big East games in the last few years.

That wasn't a shot on Welmer. If he can do 120 then do 120; that has nothing to do with his officiating (style?).

Teddy is in the Big 10. I'm not sure about the others.

SEC & ACC definitely. He was also working games in the Southern Conference post-season tourney.

Makes sense. He is an evaluator at Mr. Burch's camp so I wouldn't doubt him doing a couple games in the Southern Conference.
