Thanks for making the link to recent announcements from FIRST. I didn't want to post the link but was thinking the very same thing in regards to this being honest efforts by FIRST to share information when it is appropriate.

In regards to the championship move, this has probably been in the works for some time and the greater community only needed to know when the deal was finalized.

I still have to believe that the staff at FIRST is working towards the benefit of the program which has to be to the benefit of most teams or the program would die. Not saying they don't make mistakes. The original letter and posts here by some of the signatures, indicate that they have faith in FIRST but would like to be more engaged and made aware of significant changes when it is reasonable to do so.
