Game officials' pay

I’m not confused at all. Yes I get that that general sentiment exists, however, that clearly was NOT the question posed in this thread.

So in other words, he is purposely hijacking yet another thread, funny since he accuses so many others of doing that.

Clearly nobody hijacked a thread and clearly I have not accused anyone of hijacking anything. Try again.

Can we not bring cancel culture into RP. Clearly, to anyone, it was a joke about the Refs and the fans. Everyone have a drink and relax!

Youre kidding right?

I sure hope so, because obviously the fans are not getting paid enough.

One of the many things I love about this site is how people are so willing to impart information to those of us who are ignorant on a particular subject.

If we talking about football officials, i know SEC pays them very very well. Its about $4k a game is what ive been told. SBC officials are considerably less than that from what i know.

Cajunref is the only guy qualified to answer this.

Correct, they pay for their own travel & lodging expenses.

Do the refs/umpires that do our games get brought in from out of town each night?

There have been locals that call at CF every once in a while. For the most part, college officials come from all areas. There are area guys in SEC and CUSA that I know of recently. On a crew on Saturday you could have guys from Florida, Texas, Kentucky and who knows where else on the same crew. Unlike Friday nights when you know the crew is more likely from the Lafayette area unless it is playoffs.
