The biggest problem is formatting. there will be over 3,000 FIRST teams next year, assume the average team plays 20 matches in a season, that's 120,000 minutes or 2,000 hours of material. Not only that though, you have other things, designs, strategies, and more that you need people to be interested in.

Of course, finals are easy to cover, elimination matches are about as long as a normal sports match, an d with time in between matches you can cover backstories and other things that draw people in.

Don't get me wrong, my ultimate goal is to get FIRST back on television, but we don't have the infrastructure yet, we need to be more ready to get it there.

There needs to be a way to get everything on demand for people who don't know FIRST. We need some sort of comprehensive competition base (think websites for the NFL, NBA, or NHL) full of information. This is much easier done for those sports for 3 reasons.
1. Only about 30 teams, 100th of what FIRST has
2. Every human body is basically the same, there's no need to explain why you chose your arm or any aspect of design
3. The game doesn't change every year

So how do we make it happen? We need ideas. That's what I've been working on for the last month or so and will continue to work on until we've made it loud.
