These guys are the envy of so many officials who would love to work 80-100 games and enjoy the game fees and prestige that come along with the turf. I have a feeling we don't know the whole story. The only angles could be: 1. Access to coach evaluations of officials & 2. Seeing officials, their schedules and the accompanying pay they were in line for.
I dealt with a similar situation in a High School association where one of the board members got access and wanted to know who had the best assignments every week. It is nothing more than an ego, jealousy and envy play. At the D1 level there is a lot more cash at stake. |

The problem with the story is that as usual, the media only focused on one of the most minor part of the infraction. Honestly, who cares what a coach might say about them. I doubt that was the issue. I bet it was more about getting access to things that were not the business of the individuals like assignments and assignor decisions.
The media really needs to talk to more people that actually officiate, not some reporter that has no idea what officiating is about. Peace

Problem with that thought is that at nearly every level, officials are told not to speak to the press. Finding that one guy in each organization that is allowed to speak for the group is probably not that easy (or timely), from the reporter's point of view - especially in today's 24-hour news cycle where there are no deadlines... just rushes to report things first.

The value here was the officials could check and see who was getting the big assignments in each conference. They could then compare their schedule with others both in terms of number of games and plum assignments.
