does that open the door for the conference or any of its members to be able to discriminate against another school? The Pac-12 thread is what got me thinking about it. Also, I can think of several private clubs/organizations that could be argued are currently discriminating against a group of a people. Any single sex club/organization (i.e. Augusta National up until recently) is the first thing that popped into my mind.

I don't believe the courts have made any ruling on private organizations, so I don't think the accuser would win. However, PR may be the more important battle here. If a school accused the ACC and/or a school of discrimination, then I do wonder what type of PR hit the conference and accused school would take? Does it matter whether the school is public or private? Now I do think it is unlikely a school would accuse a conference or another school of discrimination. However, if the conference musical chairs is starting to come to an end like many people think, then a school could be desperate enough to make sure it had a seat when the music ended instead of being one of the ones left out.
