Jared's post hits home. A perspective that's formed from his experience on two HOF teams.
Before making decisions this big, I would hope that FIRST would have polled some of the community. Whether it be HOF teams, mentors, volunteers, etc. If they had, I doubt they would have received much support, if any for this change.
I really did think this was a prank when people where describing the news to me this morning...
