I agree. 1276 did not disappear from a lack of funding. No infusion of cash would've kept the team running. We just ran out of people. I'm sure there are some teams that drop out due to a lack of funding, but I'm willing to bet the majority run out of people to run the team. I'd be curious to see when a team is most likely to disappear, I'd be willing to bet that it is after the 1st, 4th, and 5th seasons.
