BYU Sunday sports ban

[Brad Jacob]

Is the NCAA a governmental entity?  If not, what constitutional provisions apply?

BYU bans athletic competition on Sundays.  The NCAA sought to ban
schools from NCAA championship tournaments if the school had such a
Sunday ban.  (The NCAA ultimately decided not to ban the schools.)

My question:  could the NCAA constitutionally ban BYU and other schools
from championship tournaments on the basis of refusal by the school to
play on Sundays?
