Are there any other options visible at this point in time?

IllegalShift:
I'm not sure "strike" is appropriate.  I plan to stay with TASO and work games as usual.  The uil cannot keep me from working games, they may attempt to prohibit the schools from hiring me, and may be successful, maybe not.  If they are, I will be happy to works TAPPS high school games and my college schedule.

If they are successful in keeping the schools from hiring me and others, I am not sure there will be enough uil registered officials to cover all the varsity and sub-varsity games.  I don’t call this a “strike”.  Timmons said if necessary he will get 2 basketball and three volleyball officials to work the games.  It’s a shame the kids will pay for the sins of the uil.

TXMike:
My gut feeling is there are enough basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, etc folks that they could get enough warm bodies to fill the needed slots.  Many of those "lesser" sports officials have probably secretly longed for the "Friday night lights" but did not want to go through the 3 - 5 year period it might take in some  Chapters to get on the varsity field.  With the "thinning of the herd" that seems about to happen, that waiting period may be reduced to 0.  Those 1A-3A schools who thought they were gettong less than the cream before are in for some "fun" times.

fencewire:
Have they even gotten ultimate approval for this yet?  I know it was expected to be rubber stamped but has that even occured?  I am of the same thinking as Mike, they will find some warm bodies and in those areas where roundball is already UIL, there is their primary focus.  If the change goes through if I understand it, if you aren't "registered" with them, then 1204 would exclude you from doing any varsity UIL game.

When is the Commisioner of Education supposed to approve or disapprove these changes? Anyone know when D day is?
