WJ:

A private organization sets its own rules so if you don’t like them quit the organization. You don’t have any constitutiional rights at your local country club.

Robert:

NC State is a member of a private association call the National Collegiate Athletic Association. They are bound by its rules. If they don’t like that then they can quit or they can challenge them in a civil action like Florida State did over using Seminole imagery. In the meantime the NCAA can enforce its rules.
