Michigan's mercy rule... gone.

Held on a trial basis for NFHS, Michigan's "40 point in the second half" mercy rule is gone with regard to Varsity ball.
Michigan liked and recommended the rule though, and will retain it for sub-varsity games.

Did you like the rule Mick?

I would think that the rule would hurt kids in the long run. A HS game hardly takes an 1hour 1/2. It seems like that would greatly cut down that time for the backups or any kids that do not play very much minutes. The game is not like football, no one gets hurt because of a big hit. At least in theory.
