I was under the impression, and correct me if I'm wrong, that they weren't able to draw from, say, the top tier college refs given the time frame, etc.
There were also apparently some good refs that didn't want to go in as a scab, as they thought it would hurt their future chances with the union later in their careers.
In any event, these guys got thrown to the wolves with no preparation, no training, no nothing.
An off-season woth of the very same prep the top level NFL guys go through?
Might they be a very good bit better next year?
For $2,700/hr., I think I might be willing to find out.
C/N I'm jelly I'm not an NFL ref.
