I get this complaint in baseball sometimes when one team loses in 4 1/2 innings due to the mercy rule: "Blue, we paid you for 7 [innings]! C'mon, let the kids keep playing!"
Response: "No, you paid me for a game, which is now over. Would you expect me to leave before extra innings because I'd been paid for (only) 7?"
There's also a liability issue. If you go into OT when the state dictates not to (as our subvarsity games are generally not to) and somebody gets hurt, then you're on the hook for that.
