Let's also take time to remember that a large number of people who support the championsplit are
-Not mentors
-Not former mentors (I know Frank is a former mentor, but I would love to know how many people who led this decision are mentors)
-Not students or alumni of any FIRST programs
-Not directly related to anyone in any of these categories

For the record, I'm a FRC Alumni, former mentor and current volunteer in support of dual champs. I have family members who are Alumni and current and former mentors, and I check in on my former team every year. I also meet amazing students on dozens of other teams each year I volunteer. I do want as many students as possible to go to championships, just like I did.
