Re: FIRST "Final 4": Ready for live TV (non-NASA TV)?

We already have a thread on this ^. I don't know if a mod wants to combine them.

Anyway, I disagree that FIRST isn't ready for the prime time. Think about it, FIRST has a LOT of sponsors, I'm sure they wouldn't mind fronting a little bit more cash for a 30 second TV spot on ABC. And there is a large audience... its all the families and teams that weren't able to make it to Atlanta, which does make up a decent amount of people. I think the major issue to get the General Public to watch is to have commercials for the event about a week or 2 before it happens so people know its going to happen.
