You certainly have contacts in your ISD and there is a UIL contact listed in the announcement distributed by FIRST in Texas.

OF COURSE my frustration is directly with FIRST-in-Texas.
They DID NOT have to do this deal in this form. I was at the meeting in Austin with FiT and UIL... I didn't see you there, Jeffrey?!
They could've said, IF we can't get a UIL deal that doesn't _exclude_ ANY students then we won't do it.
But, the lure, and there's _always_ the lure, of exploding revenue to FIRST-in-Texas by the expected jump in team numbers from this agreement was the driving factor to doing a deal that results in throwing some students under the bus IMO.
