I find it interesting that this is included in the Terms of Use:

So he does all this for free? Or maybe he's paid in salary AND royalties; and the royalties go to charity? I think it's great that he donates some part of the profits to charity. It does make me curious, though.

Also noticed this:

It made me wonder if 40 games is a conservative calculation. There are just under 900 officials listed on bbstate.com. Exactly 127 received 40 or more assignments this season. That's about 14% of officials. It looks to me as though most are in the single digits; and I know that there are many officials on a conference roster who don't get any games.

I realize it's just a sales pitch, but 40 games per season seems optimistic, rather than conservative.

I donate all my ref fees - to my pharmacist. :p

You'll get 40 games if you attend Ed T. Rush's Southern California symposium.

And the pharmacist still doesn't get paid enough.

Ed Rush, Jr., actually runs the business. Ed, Sr., gets a portion of the total income in royalties, and is giving those to charity. I'd guess Ed, Jr, makes a decent amount of money.

so has anybody actually talked to someone who has used this "system"? just curious...

"Plus, hear Olandis’s tip on how a 3.36 oz. piece of gear…which when taken with you on the road, will make your family feel like you never left. (Hint: it’s not your phone.)"

Olandis's hairpiece?

Can you say placebo?
 

I'm thinking from the number of "creative" posts Mark makes, that his pharmacist is WAY overpaid for the results he provides :D

I smell a congressional investigation.

Or, perhaps a poll.

Yes and they recommended it.

Possibly. Look...

Hell, as M&M said, why pay all that money when all you have to do is to move to Socal. Three years and you're a college official....automatic.

I'm going out to Orange County in May to celebrate my birthday with my brother and his family, does that count? Maybe Ed T. Sr will in town give a lecture??

You're like a bad spouse....you hear what you want to hear.
