It seems that in hardly any other School Sport do you see the teams wearing shirts with a company's name on it (Unless that shirt is made by a like Nike where they put that little swoooosh thing in the corner). I do disagree with the fact that company's names are plastered all over FIRST. I would have no problem if this was @ a private school, but not a public school.

What you're saying has no relevance to the topic of this thread.
Putting your sponsors' company logos on your team's robot is nothing like having a section of the forum to be used as advertisments.
It seems to me that the manifestation of this "advertising" would be in the form of a Classified Section, rather than anything like pop-up or banner ads. Companies, retailers, or what have you would pay CD some money to get their name, a link to their website, a paragraph or page or however much Brandon would choose to allot (if it were to happen, at all), and have exposure to around two thousand users, on hundreds of teams, all around the US, Canada, Brazil, etc.
I don't have anything against this type of thing, in fact, I'm all for it (unless I was wrong about something in my interpretation and description).
