No surprise since the Pac-12 is going to need another crew and the Big 12 (?) will have 1 less crew...
This is just a guess, but the Pac 12 probably picked up some of the officials who live in Colorado and Utah. I know of at least 5 Big 12/MWC officials who live in Colorado, and I'm sure that there are a few from Utah as well. With BYU going independent and Colorado and Utah joining the Pac-12, it makes a little more sense.
And FF7, any word on whether or not the Big 10/MAC/MVC partnership hired any Big 12 officials?

If I am not mistaken I think Scott Novak lives in Colorado where he is a dentist. I do not know if he is one of the hires but I believe he lives in Colorado.

No word, but my guess is that the talent pool is deep enough in that alliance to scout and get officials for their games. Who knows, maybe a Big 12 official from Missouri wants to jump.....but no word on that. |

Yes, Novak lives in the Denver area, along with Tom Walker and Greg Burks. I know of 2 other officials who work in the Mountain West (can't remember names) who live in Colorado as well. In the thread on refstripes.com, one poster (who seems to be in the know) said that there was a lot of turnover in the Pac-10 too. I'm anxious to see where everyone ends up come next fall. |

WOW! Pereira really was given free reign from the commissioner. It sounds like the Pac-12 was doing things like it was still 1981 instead of 2011. Now, if the league hires a good supervisor, they'll really get it in gear. I wonder of someone like Mike Carey, Bill Leavy, Carl Cheffers, Rob Vernatchi, Gary Cavaletto, or heck, even Ed Hochuli might want to leave the field and be the new supervisor. It sounds like with all the investment into improving officiating, they'll want someone to devote all their time to the job. It will be interesting to see who they hire. |

Yikes!
Sounds like MP went in there and cleaned house. He probably didn't have any ties to many of the officials in the conference, which made his decisions a lot easier.
I'm not an advocate of any official losing their job, but of all the BCS conferences, I've always thought that the Pac-10 had the worst officiating. it seems like there is a game or two every year involving a Pac-10 crew where there is a grievous error that costs a team a game.
If the Pac-12 really wants its officials to get better, they should bring in a few guys from the Big 10 to be supervisors.

Now comes a very delicate time for the remaining Pac-12 officials. Some of the officials remaining behind who did not get fired, are probably shaken up and have some anxiety over the future. Many of their colleagues and maybe best friends are some of the officials who were terminated or reassigned. They may have officiated 30+ years together starting in high school and moving up. Now we have 16 new officials coming in who are "better" than their former colleagues.
The new officials need to tread lightly and not act like they are there to "save" the Pac-12 officiating staff. The officials who survived the purge need to be team players and not treat the new hires with suspicion, jealously, or contempt for having "taken" a friend's job.
Pereira gave the Pac-12 officials a cold shower. The remaining and new officials can either resist the shake-up or they can jump in, lather up, and take officiating forward.

I see R-85 Ed Hochuli becoming a Supervisor or even going back to Pop Warner & Officiate games for fun! That is when he Does Retire..... On USTREAM this past week..... Jay & Jack asked Hochuli when he is thinking of Retiring..... He did not have an answer... he said the 2010 season was one of his BEST Seasons!!!!!!!!!!! ;D |
