If you look at the USOC Constitution & Bylaws, it says that each Olympic sport has to have its own national governing body. Under ยง220522, which details eligibty requirements for the ngb, it says this
<<(a) GENERAL.--An amateur sports organization is eligible to be recognized, or to continue to be recognized, as a national governing body only if it--
(1) is incorporated under the laws of a State..... as a not-for-profit corporation HAVING AS ITS PURPOSE THE ADVANCEMENT OF AMATEUR ATHLETIC COMPETITION>> (caps mine)
Anybody think that's USATF's purpose in this day and age? Or that it should be?
