Hooray for the mercy rule! Hope you state adopts one. It makes game management of blowouts much easier.

I sure as hell hope our state uses good wisdom and passes on this rule. If you need a rule like this to help game management, then you are not qualified in the first place.

Nothing good happens in a game where a team is winning by more than 40 at halftime. All you get is frustration on the part of the losing team, and the opportunity for hard fouls and poor sportsmanship. No one has any fun (winning team included), and no one learns anything from this type of mismatch. The positives for this rule have nothing to do with getting home early. They have everything to do with ending a bad situation before it gets worse.
