It must be super easy to qualify as an SEC umpire

Seems like I could do it and not be as bad as him

They must go to the closest little league park and pick the worst umps they see

The catcher is moving the ball back 2 feet and he still calls it a strike.

Most college umps are the ones who went through the minor leagues and either quit after a few seasons or got canned. Only 2% of umpires who make it to the minors out of umpire school make it to the major leagues so there are a lot of guys to choose from. Generally in the power 5 conferences you are getting guys that got up to AA or better.

So it's actually super hard and very selective to umpire division 1, power 5 baseball. It just isn't as easy as it looks fellas

I'm at the point in my life where when I follow sports like basketball and baseball, where regular season losses aren't a huge deal if you make the post season, just ignoring the regular season. The SEC is so corrupt that they make these sports unwatchable.

With the playoffs in football, that is a relief now too. Our seasons won't hinge (potentially) on corrupt football officiating.

Everyone rags on umpires but nobody steps up to do it. I know a few guys who call D1 games and a couple of them had done AAA ball. They all love the game and aren’t doing it for the money because the shite they have to put up with sure isn’t worth it. The travel for minor league umps drove them back to college games once they had families.
