Some things are okay and get by while other things unrelated are sanctioned. <-- I'm sure you know where that last bitter remark comes from regarding the NCAA.

Sure they do. They're a private organization. "Follow our rules or do what the majority says to do or get kicked out." It's part of their charter.
EDIT: It's kindof like the Unanimous Agreements with the NPC. Had they written into the UA "Organizations that do XYZ thing will have their membership in the NPC revoked" - well, they could do that. The NBA had that provision, that the owners could vote to remove an owner. They "forced" him to sell in the respect that the team would be much less valuable if it wasn't part of the NBA. Essentially, sell, or the Clippers are out.
