NFL Eyes College Officials as Backup Refs in Possible CBA Lockout

The NFL has begun identifying potential replacement game officials from college ranks in case negotiations with the NFL Referees Association fail, with plans for background checks, onboarding in April, face-to-face meetings in May, Zoom training over the summer, and on-field work starting in September. The move could create a “scab” dynamic and impact game integrity, especially with gambling stakes higher nationwide. The league didn’t comment, and officials’ targeting beyond college groups is unclear; history points to the 2012 lockout and the infamous Packers-Seahawks game as context.
