I would have no problem with even Dean Himself leading a team.

In fact, I have often felt that if Dean and Woodie were forced to actually lead a FIRST team, FIRST would be very different.

As to ethics, of course it would be a difficult spot for them to be in, but I think that we could all deal with it.

FIRST is never going to be "fair." In my view, we should give up fairness as even a goal. "Fair enough" is the only thing we can hope for. Deka sponsorship of a FIRST team is fair enough for me.
