Deliberately turning the ball over has no valid purpose.
+1

Pressing with a big lead and running up the score is a coach's decision. Neither has got anything to do with us. Whether we like it or not, it's part of the game and we have to deal with the fallout. No matter what, the teams are still expected to play. If there's any complaints, let the league or governing body deal with it.

Deliberately giving the ball to the opposing team is not an accepted part of the game though. Giving the other team the ball is not playing the game; it's making a farce out of the game.

I'd warn and then forfeit.
