That's funny M.
I'm not an econ major, but I know many companies find they make MORE money if they lower the price a bit so more people can buy it. Per team costs should always go down the more teams they get, and if more teams can play and pay $5,000, then their revenue wouldn't go down either. Doesn't change the fact that they already have $8 million in reserve and should stop using team fees to build a bigger cash fund. Sorry, just seems what they should be doing if they're a non profit and the mission is to get more schools to do FIRST.
