You're right, I'm not familiar with it. By all means post a cite, because I'm not familiar with a precedent that says you don't have to respect the Bill of Rights if you're competing with a private entity. (And I don't believe the state should be competing in the marketplace anyway.) But in any case state universities are not operating in the free market.

Here is a graph of the market participant doctrine. The second link is a nice slide show that explains it. http://faculty.lls.edu/~manheimk/cl1/mpd1.gif http://classes.lls.edu/f2000/manheimk/cl1/ppt/mpd/sld001.htm

Here is a graph of the market participant doctrine.

This relates to the Commerce Clause, not the Bill of Rights. I don't see how it's relevant.
