Southern California HS soccer refs want a pay increase for the upcoming season. It's not in the budget. I'm told that California schools do not charge at the gate until play-offs.

If this happened in South Carolina, would the high school season be in jeopardy?

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
