The Pac-12 is one of the highest paid conferences around — I don't think it is a money issue as much as it is an alliance issue ... that is, what conference(s) do you take 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

Plus, it's a travel issue — if you primarily work the Big East and ACC, it makes sense to fill in games with the Atlantic 10, America East, and CAA (esp. since it is aligned with the ACC for basketball officiating). If you take a game with the Pac-12, you can't get back to the east coast to work a game the next day. If the coaches are wanting the "heavy hitters" then that's who we are talking about — guys that are working pretty much every day.

When I was talking about money I was not talking about pay per game. I mean pay per time and energy. Going out west for officials in the Midwest would likely not make them able to work other games as easily.
