A few years ago there was a kid who was going to go to Maryland they called the "Jewish Jordan." Because of his religion and the certain days he could and could not play, he ended up playing at Towson State. He did in fact wear a yarmulke when he played, and I'm assuming it was held on by bobby pins or something.
I do not know however if the NCAA gave him a waiver or what. You could probably do a web search on "Jewish Jordan" and find something if you looked hard enough. I'd be interested on the NCAA's stance myself.
