Ok looking for advice here and help.
I know you have seen me and others complain about Conference Affiliated Refs. I’m sick of complaining and want to help in building a groundswell to actually change it.

Here is the synopsis:
Right now refs report to a conference. Last night is a perfect example with Va tech vs Miami. If my paycheck came from Acc conference as a ref I would be bias as well. Playoff spots are worth let’s say $20 million to my employer. Acc refs are not bad the fact that conferences are paying the refs and report to a specific conference is a problem.

We need to change this and I don’t know how to. I am in private equity and feel I can raise outside capital to start a company that basically does a roll up of all college football refs. Put them in regions where the best refs in the SE get the best games based on performance. Have independent checks and balances to rank refs. So in a nutshell the best ref crew gets the biggest game in SE this weekend (ga at AL). 2nd best crew gets the 2nd best game irrespective of conf. It could be an ACC game as the 2nd best game. The worst ref crew gets the worst games such as wake forest playing vandy.

How do we go about making a change. A website? Social media? Change.org. Do we get Twitter influencers? How do we go about approaching the refs regarding a new entity that pays them more and gives them better perks?

I look forward to any ideas. Thanks

All you need to do is look at Miami. You knew when the VT Hail Mary replay went to Charlotte they were going to keep Miami undefeated.

Same goes for the overturned targeting call vs Cal.

If Miami goes down the ACC might only get one playoff team. That costs the ACC a lot money

Why exactly should a review have any involvement from conference headquarters anyway? So we went from not having any ability to review calls on the field to then having review capability but then taking it a step further and checking in with conference headquarters for what reason?

When do they end "regional" conference affiliation for teams and just go NFC AFC super bowl jr?
