Strange article. What, exactly, is a LLC supposed to do to create uniformity between conferences? Are the officials going to be sub-contractors for the LLC instead of the conferences? I think there's much more to this story than what's in this article.

Maybe they are creating an organization that conference supervisors will eventually have to answer to. I don't know, as you say, article is rather vague.

Found more in an article via the NCAA Central Hub. Guess my guess was right.

...Neither officiating LLC will delve into assigning officials. That will still remain under the realm of the conferences. But the goal is to establish a uniform evaluation process for officials...

If that's the case, it will be interesting to see which conferences dominate that board. Will the smaller conferences get a seat at that table or will it be dominated by the majors? It should be fun to watch the NCAA try to create this thing on the fly.

Personally, I don't think it will work. Just like everything else having to do with major NCAA sports, there's too many egos and too much money at stake to get everybody to agree to anything.

Another thought occurs to me...will we see this same template used for football? softball? baseball? Different LLC's for each sport? Male & female? Wonder who's law firm is getting the incorporating work.

As long as the LLC's bills are paid by the conferences; they will maintain the power.

Five firms are competing: Dewey, Cheatem & Howe; Sue, Grabbitt & Runne; Skrewer, Widow & Children; Dewey, Scruem & Howe; and Ketchem, Cheatham & Howe.

How is this gonna work? Is the LLC going to have some kind of power to remove a coordinator?

NCAA lips are moving, it must by lying

There can be no doubt that the ultimate goal is to make the LLCs responsible for providing the officials for every NCAA contest in one or more divisions.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no reason to create a legal entity to oversee all of this; coordinating what coordinators do does not require a corporation with independent legal status.

The only reason to create a legal entity with independent legal status is to have the officials work for that entity.
