Here is the problem, which these students may not have considered. At least last year, teams were NOT counted as rookies if they had more than 5 veterans from another team! So if you do merge, there will be no grants for either team. So you just made it harder for both teams by merging. The students will have to work just as hard for their participation.
Just talk to the students in question. If they do want things given to them, they are free to switch teams, if everyone approves. If they want to stay, they will need to work. If the teams merge because of their efforts, they will need to work.
Above all, there should be no behind-the-back deals on the team, particularly if they affect the whole team.

Of course. If they choose to join the new team, then they are free to do so, and I won't hold anything against them. It's their choice, whatever they decide to do, and whether they decide to leave or not, I'll be 110% supportive of their decision.
I really don't think they put that fact about the grants into consideration. I don't even think they know. Heck, I didn't even really know the specifics until you guys told me. There was always someone else on the administration end concerning money until this year.
Again, I'm going to let those few decide what they want to do, and be supportive of that. And I think that our team will be putting every effort into getting our ducks in a row and getting this year going in the right direction.
Thanks for clearing up several facts, guys. You've made things easier on my mind. I think you've also succeeded in clearing things up for our new coach, as she's reading this, too. Look forward to seeing ya out there!
