I thought I remember someone stating he had a daughter than attended ISU, which is why at times he seemed to over compensate by making his 50/50 calls go against ISU. I could be wrong.

I don't mind Higgins. Eades though, he is an absolute *****.

Honestly, the refs seem to be a way bigger issue when your team is average to good. I think there will always be bad calls, but better teams overcome them. I mainly hate to see games called differently on different ends of the floor, and sudden emphasis on things that are rarely called.
Actually if all you had was a spouse, you could take her on a lot of trips and just spend airfare. With that many miles, he will be upgraded to first class.

He's filling the void that Ed Hightower left.
It has been years ago that I was having a friendly discussion with a Big10 fan and we both were saying we had the worst basketball referees. I decided to play my two aces and say that you can't have worse refs because we have Hightower and Bain. He laughed and said those were the refs he was thinking about, I didn't realize at the time they did both Big8 and Big10 games
Refs don't want it. Would subject them to more taxes and take away all of their ability to make their own schedules.

Would it? I imagine they're stuck with self-employment taxes (i.e. the full 15.3% or whatever on Social Security, et al) now.
I'm just curious. It seems to me like Higgins takes in a ton of cash and probably sees a ton of it gone right off the top.
Is there any website that allows you to know who are the refs for a game? I'm trying to learn more about who is who, but if you miss the announcement during the TV broadcast, you can't know until it gets reported in the box score.
Blum, how about making a website with your scoring of refs?

$3000 per game goes a long way when you live in Omaha and ref in Ames or Lawrence. Of course, he probably never travels directly from Omaha.
Higgins was a ref for the UNI game at Bradley last night. Hard to think that one paid $3000. The gate receipts probably didn't total $3000!
