I believe the State Championship fee will in fact be $4,000.
While for the 2009 season there is no doubt Michigan teams are being given more plays for less it is simply the first step in effecting that change for the entire country. So yes if things turn out well then there is, perhaps, an additional cost benefit to being a Michigan teams in the short term. But I think it's important to judge this change based on whether or not it is beneficial for FIRST across the country because if it is then everyone will have the same advantages in time. I'm not sure if the answer is yes, but that's why it's a pilot program.
