It could be similar to the situation here in Katy, Texas. The local team is stacked because people often move to the district for football and it could even get as outrageous as someone zoned to another school going to Katy for personal reasons. Katy ends up being the best team in the 7 high schools, Katy ISD every year and even being the best team in the entire Houston Area of 200+ maybe even 300+ Houston Metro area.
In highschool we had to play one of the local schools that had a total enrollment of 17 in grade 8. So they fielded a team of 6 boys. (all but 1 of the boys in the grade played)
They agreed to play us since we didn't have very many opponents in the area but they said we could only play our worst 6 people. My team still won like 75-5.
Who would want to be in that starting lineup. You, you, you, you, and you all suck so you get to start today. I would quit right there or make it a one man show just out of spite.
Obviously. Likely they recruited girls from other areas to make a dominant team. I wonder how they fared last year or is this their first year in this particular league...
Still, they should allow them to play out the year, assuming they allowed them into the league and reassess at the end of the season whether or not they will allow them next season.

We had a very small school with just a few boys in the class. I was told that I needed to play basketball with the first game in a week. I never played basketball, never liked basketball and didn’t know anything about basketball. The only reason was that I could walk and chew gum at the same time. So they gave me a uniform that was made for someone twice my size and I needed a belt to hold up my pants. Come game day, the other team was made up of giants that looked like they play professionally. I got the ball, started dribbling down the court and my pants fell down to my ankles. I fell down, that night I turned in my uniform and I still hate basketball.

If this story is true, somebody tell Geno Auriemma, coach of UConn women's Huskies! They've won the Championship for the last 3 years, and it looks pretty good for this year, too! Geno may find somebody to recruit for the team next year (can you tell I'm a Huskies fan?).
as long as they weren't recruited from outside their school zone, I don't see a problem with letting them play in the league. Let the other teams forfeit against them, there's not much that can be done. Alternatively, you could give them a handicap just to make it interesting.
Seriously, if you've ever participated in a blowout, you don't even play hard anymore, so there isn't any point from your perspective anyway.

Guess while we're at it we should get rid of women's college basketball since Uconn wins too much.
This is just another example of Special Snowflake Syndrome. My kid can play sports but can't handle losing so let's just make it easier. Great lesson.
The best athletes out there are the ones who lose but learn from it. Everyone loses at times, not everyone capitalizes on it and learns from it.
