For masters, that hasn't been ruled on. For USA,NCAA,H/S, yes that is the case.
Most of what JMiller has been talking about -- TV coverage, politcal agendas, increased money in the sport, whatever (I can't really follow some of it) -- is dealing with FINA's decision to ban the suits for "mainstream" swimming, and (I think) originated with Rowdy's theory that the suits stimulated media interest in the sport.
I don't see much media interest in masters swimming. The reason I claimed that most of it is irrelevant is exactly what you said: those decisions made, what should masters do?
