This really depends on each conferences. There is a tier pay for some conferences and they pay officials based off of their "level" or "standing." Not sure how they judge this, but I guy like Steve Welmer would get paid more working in some Mid-Majors than a guy that was not at his standing.

No that is not the case. The Supervisor picks the officials. Now they are not stupid, they pick certain guys for the high profile games and I am sure they know who is liked or respected.
