Private Sports Enterprise Right to Disallow Entry Based on Educational Background

What are the thoughts on whether a private sports enterprise (a professional foosball / table soccer tour)/ promoter operating in multiple states) can disallow a specific individual (versus a class or group or everyone) to register and play and win prize money in events and tournaments based upon educational background (not completing high school or GED)? Is it legal to single out an individual and not include everyone who registers / plays in the events in this requirement?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

In order to play in the NFL, you must wait 2 years after your class graduates from high school.
The NBA requires players to wait at least 1 year after your class graduates from high school before you can play. LeBron James would have to wait a year now, he could not go straight into the NBA today.

What the promoter is doing is perfectly legal.

A high school education - or rather, the lack thereof - is not a legally protected characteristic.
