First off, thank you for being a referee.
Second, this is very, very eye opening. I didn’t know the process and amount referees were getting paid. Knowing the that some schools don’t feed officials is wrong in my opinion.
Third, I do remember the PA announcers saying “The officials have be mutual agreed upon…”. Honestly, I don’t believe officials would hold grudges against the coach as the other way around.
Fourth, knowing the pay of officials, unless the first job is bringing in a lot of money (which would actually disincentivize becoming an official), the amount of money paid to an official will not bring people in my generation.
So, after learning all of this, we will end up having Thursday Friday and Saturday games even if fan behavior changes.
