This is incorrect.

I know in my state when SC State University dropped thier commitment of hosting the competition FIRST spent several months searching for a partner to host the event and in the end they had to turn to me, a second year electrical engineering student alumni of a big FTC program, to find a way to host the SC Championship event.

Don't just assume that hosting an FTC Championship is an easy thing to do. Even at a bare minimum level.
