FIRST isn't going anywhere anytime soon (as in leaving). With its current growth rates, of course more money will be needed, meaning more sponsers will be needed, but that's understandable. This is a great competition founded on great ideas and concepts - sponsers aren't going to disregard this due to not having enough media coverage. And if they do, then we don't need em anyways. Graciously Professional companies will continue to sponser - FIRST will remain. At least, this is how I see it... who knows, people can be very cruel.
