These associations need to take a serious look at their fee structure: Saginaw Officials Association, the Midland Officials Association, the Heart of Michigan Officials Association and the Bay Metro Officials Association.

IMO these groups are suffering for their mistake of setting or allowing their 2-man fee to be set too low.

FWIW in our state, the officials associations do not set the fee, it is set by the State. The committee that votes to set the fees, 3 years at a time, is populated by ADs and Principles. there are no officials that have a vote.

Sounds like you are under control of the dark side. Use the force ref2. Most people don't appreciate what an official actually goes through unless they have call a game themselves. Get all thoes board members on the court and see how they feel after running a high level 2 crew game.

Then the officials in your state need to get together and take a stand if they don't like the make-up of that committee or the fees that it sets.

I do like the idea of telling the committee members to get out there and work the games themselves!

No one has a vote except the Schools.

You say the officials need to get together and take a stand. Have you ever met a more independent, hard to lead, group of people than sports officials?

I know officials that would take a pay cut just to improve their schedules.
