if FIRST were to begin to offer a monetary award to winning teams, would our coveted gracious professionalism withstand the change?
In a word, no.

We already see some teams whose ideas of GP are already shaky. They think winning is everything. How would they react if a call is made and they don't win. It would be even worse then it is now. Even though Professionalism infers professional, and proffesional means being paid, this is a bad idea. This would tear down our cause.
