Benches have cleared before. I've never heard of giving up over it though. I wonder how their supervisors feel about it. I wonder if the officials themselves felt threatened (which makes more sense than just calling it over what's in this story).
This makes for a horrible precedent. If there are no consequences, then the next time some team is up by 2 scores late but doesn't trust its defense ... just clear the benches and you win. I'm hating everything about this story (at least the parts we know right now).
Seems to me if it got so bad the officials had to call it, it should be a double-forfeit.
