Did you realize that a referee for a college basketball game receives about 1,000 per game including expenses for working the Major Conferences. Enough is Enough with some of these old guard greedy pigs that dominate all the Major Market TV Games on a weekly basis. Just last week in the Big Ten Conference I witnessed Jim Burr at the Michigan State game on Thursday , in Louisville for the Georgetown game on Saturday Night and then in Columbus for the 2:00 p.m. tip off of the Hoosiers and Buckeyes on Sunday. You telling me a 60+ year old man that can't run can keep up with the high flying action of college basketball keeping that schedule of five games a week ? Their only off days is Friday if they don't book a CYO or Junior High Game. These guys are kept around only because the top coaches trust in their decision making. They can't keep up . Limits should be put on the numbers of games referees can work per week in this handicappers opinion. Open some doors for some younger officials to get some of the action so the fans can enjoy a more thoroughly officiated contest without so much guess work from the tired,exhausted, broken down, greedy officials of yester year!
