I do know that from the officiating side of the line that the pay isn't the same @ the DI level.

However @ the High school level once Title IX hit, High Schools had to raise the compensation of their girls sports coaches to match the boys sports coaches.

Title IX DOES pertain to coaches' compensation. In fact, I believe that the Title IX regulations specifically include and address the compensation of coaches - Title IX requires "equivalent" compensation, but not necessarily identical compensation. The theory is that if a school pays a women's team coach $1,000 and the men's team coach $100,000, the female student athletes are not going to have an equal opportunity to benefit from quality coaching.

I suppose that a similar argument could be made for officials, but that would be a far greater stretch as officials play a far less significant role in student athletes' equal opportunity.

I didn't know a Presidential candidate was an official. Go figure.

Dibler said the WAC uses a four-tier salary structure, and the guys at the top of the structure are the officials with NCAA Tournament experience. Officials receive a game fee plus hotel, airfare and per diem.

Dibler refused to disclose the range from the bottom tier to the top tier, but he says the WAC is competitive in its pay structure.

Missouri Valley Conf. has a tiered system. Those officials that are deemed to be in the top tier (I think there are 10-15 of them) will get $1600/game. IF they commit to 10 dates - including 2 Saturdays - each top tier official will get a $500/game bonus; making their total fee $2100/game (x 10 games = $21,000 for the season).

The lower pay scales are $1200, $1000, and $800 per game.
