I hate to see this happen because it will inevitably result in some losses; however, what's the alternative? If they DON'T merge, is it possible that they could both independently fail, resulting in ALL loss of sponsorship?* It seems unlikely that they would merge unless it was absolutely necessary. I just hope that all the teams fare well, get funding, and retain mentors.

I guess that's the price we pay for unions, but without unions, we'd be far worse off. It's not guaranteed that it would be the same, but the
industrial revolution is evidence of what bad comes from unions. Sure, we would possibly have a more successful industry without unions, but we may have less mentors due to an increased necessity to work and less compensation for said work.
*that's a genuine question: I haven't researched it.
