I read the article far enough to know two things.
1. Nevada overreacted to a "problem." Probably because people who make decisions have bad memories from getting beat badly when they were young. They would have been better with one of the following options.
a) Just end the game when the differential reaches 50 points. That's what the mercy rule is in football in some states.
b) Just let the running clock be sufficient; there's something to be learned when you get beat, let the kids learn.
2. I had to quit reading when it felt like it was spending too much time singing the praises of coach Karen and what she'd accomplished. I don't really feel sorry for teams that are just too good.
