As someone pointed out, Utah plays on Sunday and Utah has a ton of Mormons.

This is a BYU school policy directed by the administration stance on their school mission.

Not an individual player's faith issue like Koufax had.

I think the NCAA should only have to respect an individual's right not to play. I mean a school can have a myriad of reasons to not play on certain days...this is an exception that says its more important than other exceptions which the NCAA won't honor. It's the NCAA endorsing the Mormon administration's mission policy.

You know the NCAA moved up the Utah Regional in softball don't you?

Utah also requests Thursday Saturday placement in basketball

Steve Young played football on many a Sunday, and he's like Brigham Young's great, great grandson.

You can't change an entire baseball regional around just for one team. No one is forcing BYU to play on Sunday, they can forfeit if they like, it's up to them.
