I realize that. I was simply making the point that MLB umpires do not need a second job and NFL referees usually do. That is all.

I will address conferences out West (PAC 12, WCC. Big Sky). Their fees are tiered depending on level of experience and its all inclusive (travel and food) comes out of that fee. Highest end of scale in PAC 12 is about $2200.

And Please don't ask me to reveal my sources..my lips are sealed :rolleyes:

I think the difference is that the travel schedules of their sports allow them to have first (rather than second) jobs. Most people I know could survive on the NFL referee salary of 80K (as quoted in this thread), so "need" isn't an issue rather than schedule.

Yes most could survive, but you might have had another job before you got into the NFL. Then unlike MLB you can get fired in a matter of a year or two and not have anything. They never fire MLB guys for anything. And in some cases I am sure the NFL salary would be a pay cut if they took that job alone. There are a few that are lawyers and own businesses.

Peace

I was going to address the fact that NFL refs will have had to have careers outside of football before getting to that level, so why would they quit just because they get to the NFL?
