Something blatantly false like that isn't even worthy of the Rumor Mill.

Jeff since when are you best friends with Dean and know everything he says... If i remember correctly (which I'm pretty sure i am now) he did say a comment like this at a time. I remember reading a transcript from one of his [Dean's] speeches and remember him listing off ways that they [FIRST] could consider a team be viable for a spot to nationals. Thus yes it was a sort of joke as some were far fetch and went into ideas that were funny to hear from him (ex. teams that own segways...etc) but i don't think that Tytus is lying about dean saying it as a joke. but i personally don't think it would work either because that would limit it to about 100 or so teams and wouldn't change as amounts of teams increased.
