I disagree, it is more likely they don't care enough to change it. The current system makes more money directly and indirectly (gambling). The minuet, the net profits dip because of bad officiating they will change it overnight

You're ignoring the point being made here: what, concretely, do you do to improve officiating? You can't just fire bad refs because the guys you replace them with are going to be worse.

You could make them full time employees and compensate them based on how well they perform like most any other profession

The refs don't want that and the NFL doesn't have the leverage to force them
