Then they shouldn't be attending U.S. colleges and universities. It's the same principle as not wanting people to attend prestigious universities and then going back and reaping all the benefits for their home country rather than the country that endowed them with said benefits.

It's track not real life. Also if a Kenyan runner or Norwegian thrower isn't taking the scholarship would you rather have a B grade American get the same scholarship?
If you don't mind slower times and weaker throws than have a ringed fence system.
Not enough quality domestic recruits = lack of supply
Foreign athletes fill in the gaps in rosters to help supply meet demand. If there were more US recruits of a top tier there would be fewer foreign recruits. Caveat, international tuition fees are often higher so universities profit and use that foreign coin to benefit US employees/students.
Also forgetting it isn't a two way street and you bet that Grant Fisher has benefited drafting off Moh Ahmed and Marc Scott in workouts over the years.
A couple of the first foreign sprinters to play this that made huge impacts on the world stage Jamaicans George Rhoden at Morgan State and Herb McKenley Illinois talking late 40's into early 50's.

The "principle" you mentioned to justify your thinking isn't an actual thing. Other countries tend to not want their students coming to the US because they end up staying and working here. There's even a term for it, "brain drain".

Actually, they do want their students coming to the US to study. Yes, many will eventually stay, but they will send money back to their families and transfer knowledge to their home countries. Attracting the best, brightest, and most talented students and athletes is a win-win for both the US and the originating country.
The Legendary Olympics Top 4 Medal Winning Quad of UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, Stanford, and USC have always built the best Olympians in the World regardless of nationality.
lol are you seriously saying that universities should only accept american citizens? You know that would significantly diminish the quality and prestige of pretty much every school in the country and make us look like morons to the rest of the world, right? But worth it because you have a vague disinterest in NCAA athletes competing for other countries at IAAF track and field championships? Imagine being that.....stupid
Lol get rekt. This is the leveling out of the playing field. Now other countries have access to the same facilities and coaches that American athletes have enjoyed and which have given them an edge for years.

And tuition for U.S. citizens would dramtically increase to compensate for the loss of higher tuition paid by foreigners.
