It is "the long arm of the law" There is no such thing as a 'free lunch" I would bring up Hillsdale College here but that is a thread hijaker!

You could try to argue anything in court if given the chance. But to do this on that law would seem to be a stretch. I am not a lawyer like TA, but not sure how anyone could make a separate group work games they are not obligated to work. Even if you assign someone a game, the people could flat out turn it down. Unless the schools control whether officials take a game or not I am not sure how they would be able to guarantee the top officials work both genders. Most of all this would be very subjective anyway. Who decides who the top officials are anyway?
