I think it would be fun to be a ref, but I doubt FIRST looks for new refs very often (especially college aged refs) because this year had like all the same refs from last year's game at UTC.
I met a kid from another team who is going to RIT too, he plans on mentoring team 73 as well so I'm willing to bet lots of seniors might help with exisiting teams next year.

RIT actually works with quite a few local teams in Rochester. We only get our name on one. I believe RIT students worked with a total of 7 different teams this year.
On another note, I am doing a presentation on this very topic at the FIRST Conference at the Championship. It's creatively titled College FIRST. There are some things to consider before you jump in head first.
