Friday Night Entertainment - will.i.am with special guests

[Andrew Schuetze]

I can't speculate on the truth of Bill's blog post but the numbers are starting to bear more primetime attention be given to the other FIRST programs.
Total number of FRC teams this season approximately 2100.
Total number of FTC teams this season approximately 1600.
Total number of FLL teams this season xx,xxx approximately 17,000 (credit goes to Mark McLeod for that factoid)

So it is a valid argument that these programs need to be given greater access to the higher profile space at the event. I am not there and I cannot speak to how much space they are recieving this year.
