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 |

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.

Right, but not future assignments. They were looking at schedules for this year and likely have been doing this for quite awhile.

I'm guessing there's a lot more to this story than we'll ever know. How did they get access? Who did it? What did they see? I'm good with not knowing. |
