If the fix was estimated at $60K, then it was the wrong solution.
Slapping some plywood up there would fix things, but probably not provide the look FIRST is going for. A hundred feet of nylon rope wrapped around the rear two bars and secured with zip ties would solve the problem and not look too bad. Even 1/8" clear polycarbonate isn't that expensive.
But just shrugging your shoulders, giving up and doing nothing is unacceptable. This is an organization that is supposed to provide inspiration for kids to become engineers. Don't tell me that there isn't a simple, cheap way to solve this problem, because if our team were faced with a problem like this on our robot, we'd find one.
