Just to expand on my previous post. Personally, I think that Cinch quit.

Several problems were likely amassing on the horizon:


 * 1) Twilight's family may have complained to CPA's Board of Trustees about Cinch's behaviour before and during The Friendship Games;
 * 2) CPA's school culture strongly favours 'winners' over 'losers' and, by any definition of the word, Cinch is a 'loser'; she lost The Friendship Games and her only strategy for winning seems to have been to cheat;
 * 3) The Shadowbolts were probably undermining her at every stage by gossiping with other students about how badly she screwed up; even if they kept 'magic' out of the discussion, they could still rightly claim that she drove Twilight into a psychotic episode and that this left CPA with no choice but to accept a draw as the competition could not be completed.

I strongly suspect that Cinch decided to jump before she could be pushed. She probably still has a lot of influence with educators in Canterlot County and beyond so she has a good chance of getting a job in another school or even in the County Education Board so long as her reputation isn't tarnished by accusations (even if unproven) of blackmail of a minor and 'doping' to the point where it caused a minor to have a psychotic episode.
