BTW - I don't like any "mercy rules", unless they are just to stop backcourt guarding when the spread gets to a certain point. I don't support running clock due to a point spread because I feel the kids deserve to play the proper time regardless of the score.

I know of no Michigan official, athletic director or coach who isn't begging for a return of the mercy rule (running clock in the second half after a team gets a 40-pt. lead). Neither the winning team nor the losing team has any fun or learns anything in a blowout of this magnitude.
