The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
As long as they weren't disadvantaged versus other kids - it was fair.
And there it is, the fear of being left behind. Life isn't fair and sports have never been fair.
Tech suits are here to stay despite the fear of success by the losers.
What you conveniently fail to recognize is two things. First, USAS is composed of its members who are allowed to have opinions and, second, over time the price of suits will fall and become more affordable.
I will agree to osterber's excellent points, yours are ludicrous.
