There are millions on the line each week. They should have done that a long time ago.

The NFL uses part-time officials for exactly that reason. The ideal NFL official is someone with a prominent position in a respected profession who has his own professional reputation to protect. They really do want officials who look upon officiating as more or less a "hobby."
When you think about it, the money isn't even the issue. The NFL couldn't possibly pay officials enough money to keep them from throwing a game if they really wanted to.
