Google sponsors FIRST. Other groups are not sponsored by Google.

Also, whenever you ask why something doesnt happen in the business world, it comes down to money. If Google were to host the FIRST logo in its logo, and when people clicked on it they were brought to a FIRST page we would have thousands and thousands of people looking at our program. But think of how much time that would not allow people to click on Google's ads, use their products, etc. Business decisions come down to cash. If Google can afford it and do it, the will look socially responsible, ie. trying to get students involved in technology.
