Nothing prevents us from taking 25 cars to the game, but my point is that we're servicing a school we don't normally service. We're doing it with officials who don't ordinarily work together and in cars that don't really allow more than 4 people. Schools that we normally work are fair game - we know the schools/districts ahead of time. I personally think all cars should get a full mileage rate as riding together isn't always possible. However, I see the logic in encouraging riding together when possible. That logic, to me, doesn't extend to schools outside of our area who are coming to us asking us to call their games.
I just wish TASO would stop being a mini-UIL and start being an organization that represents the best interests of its members. If that means telling UIL, no, or telling them what conditions we will work under, so be it. Big chapters are losing members in droves and in 5 years, we won't be able to cover a substantial part of our subvarsity and even varsity will suffer. We can't wait until that happens to start thinking about fee and expense reimbursement issues.
