What about hair grooming?

[Camron Rust]

Important to remember is that what it takes to get in may not be the same as what it takes to stay. I'm betting that any of the previous years NCAA semi-final or final officials could show up with a shaved head, longer hair, or a goatee and they would still get games. Once you're established as a quality official, other items have a smaller impact.

So, just because we see and official in NCAA D1 with a certain look, it doesn't mean they got the posistion with that look or that anyone else like them will.
