Agreed. I'd love to see one single, independent organization handle all the officiating, no reason to have conferences handle their own officials. Sets up a clear conflict of interest.I don’t mean simply make the current refs “full time” and it’ll solve the issue. You make a lot of points, about the good ol boy system and you’re correct. This needs to be redone from the ground up. It’s not a simple “make it full time” and it’s fixed. To be blunt the current heads of officiating need to be axed and we need a fresh start with new mandatory accountability clauses in their contracts. It’s not as simple as “everyone slacks”. I agree. A lot of it is “who you know”, ego, not clear direction (like every conference calling certain penalties differently) etc. that’s a lot of glaring issues.
And if that organization's only job was officiating, they'd have to be good at it.
