Big vs Little Funding

As I was writing my post on the Chairmans Award i began to think how most of FIRST is unfair to poorly funded teams and teams that aren't quite as large as most. Why not divide teams up into divisions for awards or even fo competing at nationals by team size of funding. I know alot of times the teams with good funding coem out with much better built robots just because they have the money and resources to afford it. High School athletics are dividing into classes, like L, M, and I, why doesn't FIRST do something similar so that teams with similar backgrounds and oppurtunities go up against eachother making the game on a more even playing field?
