This isn't entirely true. The contract is still a legal document so a court should uphold the terms of the contract if it were to get that far. All Tom is saying is that the AA isn't going to bend over backwards to help the official like they would the school if the situation was reversed.

Same here. For subvarsity, we don't know who else is doing the game with us.

I found out today that we will each be paid $25 which is not equal to the game fee for freshmen games ($39) but better than nothing. We'll take it and know that a better effort will be made in the future to notify us of last minute changes.
