re: Conference officials

My next door neighbor where I use to live was an ACC official. Good guy he got out of it when he got a little age to him. He was a good official as well. Was the white hat in one of the BCS title games. We talked a lot and what I learned was you can’t make a living calling college football. The pay was kind of embarrassing. It’s probably gone up some but still probably not enough. They have a fitness test they have to pass and they do have to go on and have to have continuous training each year.
