Rule
A nominally private entity can be a state actor when it is entwined with government in both its activities and its membership; the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association was a state actor because public school officials dominated its membership and served on its governing bodies.
Significance
Establishes the “entwinement” test for state action; expands state action doctrine to cover private associations pervasively intertwined with public school systems.
