It’s an open secret that the NCAA hates BYU women’s sports

I think that once the old guard is gone from byu, you’ll see byu play on Sunday if the tournament requires it.

Good point, sabbath day and other commandments are so passé.

Cougarclaw

The commandment is to keep the sabbath day holy. It’s not “Don’t play a sport on a Sunday.”

Do you also consider working on Sunday to be breaking the sabbath?

Yes. Though if the ox is in the mire, it's ok to break

Working on Sunday isn’t a “necessity”.

That’s my point. You do what has to be done on Sundays. That includes playing in the tournament if you have to.
