But BYU (read: the Church) will never make the choice.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a church that teaches to keep the sabbath day holy, but it's okay for our women's basketball team, they're exempt.

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

Do you consider playing a game on Sunday a necessity?

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.

So your point is both NICU nurses working on Sunday and Tournament play HAS TO BE DONE because they're comparable and
