Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 1711467, member: 2350"] The overwhelming majority of people who ref don't do it with ulterior motives. I don't care about the money. I would still do it even if we didn't get paid - just not as much :). Most of us do it because we like the game and want to stay connected to it, or so kids can play. I do it for those reasons, but also because of the challenge. It's by far the most difficult thing I've done in sports. And I'll confess there's some minor vanity involved, as in I like being able to do something reasonably well that very few people can do even to begin with. There's a certain sense of reward in that. I can't tell you how good it feels to walk into a gym, and the head coach looks up and smiles and offers his hand saying, "Hi <Cow>, good to see you." [/QUOTE]
