There are several competent officials currently, but how many would give up their regular careers to become fulltime. That first year of transition would be a nightmare.

It will also take an "eye in the sky" official that can immediately over turn any call on the field or quickly submit an ignored or missed call.

After reading this I'm thinking maybe start out with 20 crew chiefs full time.
Their responsibility would be games and year round training. I'm sure with the leagues money they could easily afford it.

However that may cut into Rogers humble salary and his shack in the modest little village of Bronxville, NY (just a tad bit more affluent than the Bronx itself)
