Tuss, do you have supervisors on site? The reason I ask is that I used to be an intramural official and am now a supervisor for the same intramural program. One of our main roles as a supervisor is to help maintain order throughout the games. Now granted, there's only so much we can do but having a presence outside of the on-field officials most certainly helps.
Our intramural teams are kept on a pretty tight leash and for the most part, they know we don't have any problem removing a team from the league if there are major problems. If things go south on-site, we have the ability to contact the University Police department and their response times are usually pretty quick.
If you do not feel there is an adequate supervisor presence, that is a concern you need to share with the manager(s) of your intramural program. If you don't have the upper level support, I'd strongly consider no longer working intramural games.
As a side note, it's amazing how worked up some people get over a lousy t-shirt.
