I also would be willing to bet that you can find plenty of people playing basketball in Provo on Sunday...this isn't "working" on the Sabbath, it is playing....

You can interpret "Keeping the Sabbath day holy" in any way you choose. The way that the leadership of the school (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) interprets it is to not participate in athletic contests on Sundays. If individuals in Provo (or anywhere else in the world for that matter) want to play on Sundays, that is their choice.
