NYSERNet used to resell Sprintlink service, but that hasn't been the case for a rather long time. At present, the schools in Rochester have connections to multiple commercial ISPs, as well as connections to the NYSERNet research and education backbone. The NYSERNet network connects them to the global R&E infrastructure via Abilene, CA*net 4 and other similar backbones. The NYC dark fiber project is also a NYSERNet activity, but a separate one.
It is perhaps worth pointing out that NYSERNet never actually ran the Sprintlink network nor the Pennsauken NAP, and that providing bandwidth for Quake games probably wasn't at the top of the priority list for your school's network administrators. . .
