Just wish it was managed like a non-profit trying to follow it's great mission, not a business trying to increase it's bottom line at the expense of it's customers.

I've only known the program exists for 4 years now and I have notice a major shift just in that time period (might just be me growing up). However, before all this continues, do we know that the profit netted is from our registration and fees and not, possibly, corporate donations from POST-season? That would still make the INCOME in that fiscal year but FIRST would have no chance to spend or incorporate it until the next game year. Just curious, I hate slandering a group that has done some great things just because we all have bad info.
