Wrong. I am not the only one allowed to do it. I'm the only one who is really good at doing it.

Agree 100%. You are indeed, really good at answering your own posts. And, I might mention, you are also quite handsome, and very intelligent. Maybe, someday, we could work a game together? Coffee after the game? Drinks? Dinner and a movie?

Hmm, let me look...

April - $225 (flight, room and rental as well)
May - $300 (room as well)
June - $400 (flight, room and rental)
June - $50
July - $225 (flight room and rental)
July - $400 (room)
August - $100

7 camps total, $1700 in camp fees. I don't even want to add up the flights, rooms and rentals.

Still wouldn't change this summer as I've learned a TON already, and I still have three more camps to go!

Thank you. Come back to see new activity on a thread I'm following and find 4-5 self-answering posts from B-Mac.

Exactly what did you have to rent on top of your room? Whistles? Shoes?

too bad those camps are not going to have the assignors for the Big Ten, MAC, Summit, Big 12, Ohio Valley.......and the list goes on and on.

The point remains, you're paying money for access only and they're making very good money. You're not paying for the instruction. How many jobs do you know of do you have to pay for the interview?

And a good number of people going to those camps are never going to get picked up by any of those assignors, ever. For most, they can get all the same benefit for 1/2 the price.

If it makes you fell good to tell your buddies you paid to meet the Big Ten assignor and paid him a lot of money to watch you work a game, then have fun with that.

I attended a camp last year for $200 plus split hotel room in which a D2 supervisor and a 3-conference D1 supervisor were there for the entire camp.

I attended a camp this year for free which had 3 NBA officials as observers.
