There are many officials refereeing the game, as always cost then maybe a factor. Though revenue in the NFL would suggest otherwise on why they are no pro refs.
So why not start with just the main referee full time pro? That's not much in costs, but sure as s**t would improve the quality of referees.
Also Give some incentive to the amatuer supporting refs to work hard on gettin/ making good calls so they also can get offered a pro referree contract, conversely if the pro referee makes bad calls consistantly then guess what ? he gets cut put down the roster to amateur and one of the other guys gets his shot.
Avenue to advance, Incentives and penalties on f**k ups a sure fire way to improve referee calls.
