Intramural sports are a great way to be involved on campus and have fun with some friends. They provide a competitive outlet for students and allow them to forget about the stresses of schoolwork, if only for an hour or two per week. For these reasons, it can be incredibly frustrating when the games are not played.
Too often, games are canceled or forfeited because one of the two teams simply does not show up. It is a problem that persists heavily in some of the less popular sports, but lately it has even reared its ugly head in seven-on-seven flag football, the biggest intramural sport on campus.
