Don't like it. If the NFL has created hours and hours of administration paper work, then that's where I'd start the cutting.
The rules aren't that freakin' complicated to understand, except where the NFL has created arbitrary meanings behind the scenes, like we have seen with crown of the helmet hits. But, if the rules are the rules, and are monitored as they are written, the only rule work the refs should have during the season is clearing up what they didn't get right before.
I'm all for younger, more in shape refs. But to believe that making the current refs full time employees is going to fix anything at all is a pipe dream.
