FIRST Robotics WAY in the future

So I was thinking about what happens in the theoretical future when most of the 37,000 high schools in the US alone have teams FRC teams. Do you think it should or would happen? Would the community and sponsors be able to support it? Would we loose a lot of what we see now as GP within the community or would slower expansion prevent this?

Imagine for instance 20,000 veteran teams, that's 20,000 * $5,000 registration fees. What would things look like?
