    I agree with alot of posts on here to some certain extent.


    First off the pay does need to improve.

    It seems that the referee's in the NFL get anywhere from 25,000 to 70,000 with an average of 27,000. That is pretty low. Especially compared to the other sports like hockey(139,000), baseball(141,000) and basketball (128,000).


    Now even though I agree I would like to see it higher it should come with a price. If they put in 7 months already then they should put in 10 with the pay increase. The other referee's mentioned have alot more of a workload than the NFL's. But even for what they do an average of 27,000 is atrocious. Once you had your spot would you really care that much. This is a billion dollar sport and there is no reason it couldn't be done. Bring them in for 3 months pre-season and have a sit down, or a class like situation for everyone to get on the same page and agree on what's going to be called. Put in the work and agree and disagree on what and to what extent. From game to game the disparity in the refereeing has been bad. Get it straight. Get paid.

    I like the college approach. Put a ref in the booth to review every close play. To speed up the process, give him the power to make the call. The time is lost when a ref on the field has to run over to a booth to view it.

    The technology is there to get things 99% right.

    One other thing that they should work on is calling a play dead before it is over(Chargers vs. Denver) That was a really bad call. I hate the Chargers but every team should be given a fair chance to win.
