Final Championship match on national TV?

The final Aim High match has to rank one of the best ever FIRST matches (I know that there's a thread on this very subject). If the raw video from the multiple cameras covering Einstein is still available on recordings, a qualified editor/director should be able to put together a really slick video from this match for airing on national TV. The high scoring match (98-94) is typical of professional basketball game, but compressed in time by a factor of twenty.

I could imagine a 10 - 15 minute segment that describes FIRST, shows Dave Lavery's animation to explain the game, the final match of the championship with selected replays, crowd shots, drive team reactions, etc. Given the NBA playoffs are in full swing, this could attract a wide audience (robotic "basketball" championship). This could be a really good promotion for FIRST. Also, it would allow the FIRST community to see the final match on TV rather than web-cast - presumably with better video and sound quality...
