In my opinion, it sounds like those in Louisiana are content with being paid chump change. 21 years without a pay raise is a joke.

Hard to believe I lived there 14 years ago and got what these guys are getting now. That's almost a generation ago.

And as long as the LHSAA continues to find enough officials willing to travel 300 miles to cover a game for $36 each, the officials will never get a pay raise. Why should the LHSAA raise game fees?

Sorta like, as long as officials are willing to go ball side in a 2 person game, the officials will never get a 3rd. Why should the ADs add a 3rd?

Nope. Anyone that would intentionally work under his best ability just to prove a point (hire a third and you'll get that coverage) is not someone I want to take the floor with.

The Blue Dress
SUV's
Vanilla Ice Milli Vanilli and MC Hammer were punch lines
Grunge
