NBC picked the right year to hire an officiating consultant.
Jim Daopoulos, a long-time official and supervisor of officials, joined NBC
this season. And he tells PFT that the NFL and NFL Referees Association have
signed a new deal.
A crew is being assembled to work Thursday night’s game between the Browns
and Ravens. Then, on Friday, the officials will travel to Dallas to retrieve
their equipment and receive their game assignments for Sunday and Monday,
with the same crews working together as last year.
Details are still not clear, but Daopoulos says that the much-debated pension
issue was resolved with the current defined-benefit plan remaining in place
for five years before switching to a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan.
Also, it’s believed that the deal will cover five more years before this
one, which means that we’ll potentially be doing this again in 2018.
