That’s the point though. If the people want to do it, more power to them. It just can’t be led and promoted by any government funded body. That is the definition of separation of church and state. The government can’t favor or push the agenda of one religion over another

^This.

Do we really want to live in a theocracy like the Middle East? The players and the fans have the freedom to exercise their religion because they're not employees of the University that's supposed to represent everybody equally. No problem with the fans and the players praying but anybody employed or contracted with the University should not be organizing or leading it.
