Are there any DII or DIII Conferences that are taking officials from out of state and paying some/all travel? I live in a state with very little sub DI football.

"out of state?" I'd like to know what conference(s) have all their schools all in one state. I have worked 11 years now having the last 6 years FCS and only reimbursed for travel and hotel when the assignment was a playoff game. No complaints either. No mileage, tolls, hotels, meals, etc. so if you are a new college official expecting this you might want to reconsider. For the love of the game baby!!!

Working for negative wages is to be expected. ;D

Just don't report them too often. You don't want Uncle Sam trying to classify this as a "hobby"...

Indeed, "Never ever characterize your officiating career as a 'hobby' if the IRS audits you or asks about it" is one of the most important pieces of advice that was given to our association by an extremely reliable source. It is a job and a source of income and they'd better understand that or they won't let you deduct squat.
