10. In This Game, No Grambling Player...

...played over 21 minutes of a 40 minute game.
11 of 12 players logged double digit minutes. The 12th played nine minutes.
There is a shot clock. The winning team isn't allowed to just stall.
Besides, if the other team quit trying after scoring a hundred, that might be a bigger insult than continuing the game normally.
To me, winning 100-15 without making any effort in the last third of the game is belittling to the opponent.
If all the players played at least 23% of the game, what would you have them do? Take random students out of the crowd to finish the game? Then what? "We beat you by 70 using players not good enough to get on this team?"
The target of our disgust should be the CBS athletic director who humiliated the team for a few bucks.
