Conference Officials?

[JRutledge]

If you are working one of the big conferences like the Big East, Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Conference USA, Big 12 or Pac-10, you are working other conferences. For one no officials just goes to one of those camps and gets hired without having some experience or working in the lesser conferences first. And officials working in one of these big conferences are likely working other Big Conferences. For example, Ed Hightower is from Illinois but works the Big 10, Big East, Conference USA and Big 12 along with many smaller Midwestern conferences. The same thing goes for Jim Burr who lives out east and works the same conferences Hightower works. There are many other examples of this, but you get the idea.

BTW, stop listening to talk radio for sports expertise.
