But since you bring up the issue of recruiting -- speaking hypothetically -- if Yale, a private institution, decides to forego federal funding rather than allow military recruitment on campus -- what's the objection?

No objection whatsoever.

The number I heard on Scarborough tonight was substantial. If that is true, Yale might have some second thoughts about foregoing the fed money.

According to the Robert's opinion, Congress could mandate ROTC and recruiting at Yale or anywhere under Art 2 of the Constitution - War Powers Act. They chose to use the Appropriations clause. But if very many universities chose to give up Fed funding, I would expect Congress to simply order access which has been expressly approved by this decision although dicta.
