Avery Brundage and the Olympic Ideal Against Modern Turbulence
A portrait of Avery Brundage as the stern guardian of amateurism who opposed commercial pressures and nationalist fervor. It recalls his controversial stance on Soviet state subsidies, his unyielding response to terrorism at Munich 1972, and his belief that the Games descended from the gods, requiring steadfast leadership.

It bars funding athletic programs with state local government money or student fee money and limits athletic scholarships to U.S. citizens. Rep Robert Jaskulski acknowledged the provision targets using student fees for athletics, tying the citizenship clause to dissatisfaction over Bowling Green State University aid for Canadian hockey players.
