As for opinions: NASA does enough as far as TV coverage.
For getting new folks interested, the Championship brodacast is sufficient. Once that's being done, I think additional resources being used for
x additional teams gets FIRST and NASA more bang for the buck
Having the Kickoff sent via NASA TV is actually far more valuable, since the alteratives aren't as good or easy, and it's a critical need to have "all" teams view the Kickoff live.
Should NASA devote even more resources to FIRST? Perhaps, but we all need to remember that NASA depends on the whims of Congress and has a hard time with some long-term planning because of the vagaries of funding. If everyone involved in FIRST in the USA was to write to their congressperson and express their desire to see greater funding for NASA, believe me FIRST would also benefit.

Well, seeing Dave fly would be more lively, but I know he doesn't like to show off in public
