End Of Olympics Signal Return Of Track Feud
The end of the Olympic season rekindles the feud between colleges and the AAU over track meets. The U.S. Track and Field Federation plans seven major winter meets defying AAU rules, threatening college eligibility for athletes competing outside USTFF certification. Cooley calls the threats idle, as colleges push Astrodome Relays, Madison Square Garden event, and other meets while AAU threatens to strip international amateur status. The dispute traces to a stalled Senate effort and a 1965 arbitration board.
