I've seen girls games getting to the point of dangerous when teams start fouling because they know the referees won't call it. They also ruin the spirit of the game by obviously not making travelling and back court calls. These kids get paid 8-10 dollars an hour to be there, the least they can do is blow a whistle every now and then and give us a good game. The athletic center also needs to do more to enforce that their workers are doing their jobs, otherwise they're just throwing money down the drain. In most cases it would be a better called game if players just made their own calls. I feel this is a problem across all intramural sports and it's ruining the integrity of the program. Why not just organize pick up games if you're not willing to support the program the way it should be. Basketball has the same exact problem.
