Also see http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=36 for some of my other thoughts on this subject.

*Unless, of course, they choose to donate some of it to FIRST.

**Simulcasting the FMS feed with the house announcers shouldn't happen. The network should produce their own feed with separate announcers.
Just because spectators are allowed in for free doesn't mean that FIRST loses their broadcast rights, i.e. their rights to charge money to broadcast the event and bar everyone else from doing so that hasn't paid up. That being said, I don't see anyone paying FIRST money to show championships any time soon. In fact, it could possibly be a worthwhile investment for FIRST to buy time... has anyone ever considered that?
