Article about what NCAA referees make

[HokiePaul]

Most interesting statement from article for me was:

"Every year, there's always a question of whether these guys are working too hard. Back in 2010, John Clougherty, the supervisor of officials for the ACC, told the New York Times that the workload issue "has been an ongoing problem for 20 years," but coaches want those seasoned vets over and over."

I didn't know that coaches picked (or had significant input) in selecting the officials at the college level. Is this common in all conferences?

Seems like it would result in a conflict if officials have an incentive to please the coaches in order to continue to get top games.
