There are exceptions. Sometimes a NASA center will decide to sponsor a local team, either for a season or for an event (like the Championship). For example, most years NASA-JPL will sponsor a local team to represent them at the Championship. But this is not a given and even when they do so, there is competition for the sponsorship. But in general, these teams are not fully dependent on NASA. These are teams that would still have a season without NASA money, it would just be shorter, thats all.
Yeah that's what we were hoping would happen....We were aware of the rookie grant vs. second year, but we were hoping our local NASA center (Marshall Space Flight Center) would hook us up. It seems doubtful that will happen, but we will survive

The bottom line:
Be grateful for NASA's assistance in getting started, they have done what they said they would. Now go out and develop other sponsors.
Oh we're definitely grateful! And we're working on other sponsors...We have both Toyoya and Delphi installations nearby that we're talking with...so maybe?
