Would you have been less appalled if the game was just cancelled after travelling across town? I'd give the home team administration some credit for letting it take place at all. Understand that it was a sub-varsity contest...that means, most likely, the only real effect of not playing would be on the JV players.

I'm not a lawyer, but I expect the "refs" they used were probably covered legally & insurance wise as they were performing duties related to athletic activity...whether as a student or faculty member. Just a guess, though.
