Again, it boils down to a simple fact: if you need money, make sure your team "gets it!" If they don't get what your goals are for the team, they won't be on your side. I feel like you're fighting against your team on this and trying to choose one or the other, but make them understand that if they want to do a second competition, and still be able to do things in the offseason, that they need to help you reach your goal by fundraising and seeking more sponsors. Even, scratch that, Especially small donors.
