Re: Texas Rankings 2014

This is one of many threads that include a discussion about keeping Texas teams alive. Sharing money and time are, as stated earlier in this thread, really band-aids. They may get a team through a Thursday or even a season. But what is it that makes a team sustainable? Organization, mentors, fund-raising, local school support? Is there any way the established teams can help with such things? Can FIRST in Texas act as a conduit for any formal programs/actions/relationships to solve this problem?

Just thinking out loud...
