To augment and slightly correct a previous post about the assignment of officials to non conference games, Barbara Jacobs, Assistant Commissioner of the Big East Conference, responded to a query with the following:
When there is a “big nonconference game” the coordinator of the home team will assign the officials and will be sure to have officials working the game that work in both conferences.
6. There are a few non-conference games that have contract stipulations that have to be met, but for the most part the home team coordinator assigns the officials and works to be sure that the officials assigned the game work in both conferences.
So, Ms Broderick, likely, will be making the assignments from a pool of officials who work in both the Big East and Big 12 conferences.
