Public schools are members if the MHSAA right? If that is the case and an organization that is made up of public schools (who receive tax money to function), the activities of the MHSAA is part of tax base that funds them. And if I am not mistaken, I saw the basketball championships held on Michigan State's campus. That is a publicly funded university and that means the MHSAA does not do things without public institutions.

In my state the IHSA currently does not take dues from the members, but they run tournaments and use public facilities to run those tournaments. If the state legislature wanted to take some legal action against them for discrimination and other legal codes, they would have a legal basis (and this almost happen over a multiplier issue last year). It does not mean that would ever happen, but they could do that.
