That's what I'm asking. I'm not familiar with these 3. They work for CUSA, so they must be stooges.

That would be my guess. Why can CUSA not get some decent officials? Even football has some real winners.

CUSA is not going to have strong officials on a Saturday. Most officials work several conferences. There are 135 Division one games today, so the brand name officials that we know and love are going to work the bigger games .

However, the no name officials may be up and comers or they may not have the ego that someone like Hightower or Hillary might have and think they have to influence the game somehow.

That's my biggest fear.
