I did not say you did, but I guess I am not sure why you are surprised college guys would be working the game? No big deal.

It does appear that a certain assignor was contacted to assign the game as it appears to be guys he knows well. Actually it looks like a current board member of the association I am President is the alternate. Two of the officials I know personally and they do work college for the most part. I know when the game was in Milwaukee a couple of years ago, a friend of mine worked the game and he has some D1 experience as well.

I also think guys that have college experience are often used because the athletes are so much better than what a normal referee that works mostly HS would see up close. And I do not know that you would want guys wearing HS jackets and patches of a particular association as well.
