<<Well, I would like to know where that 6000 goes to, and why it costs so much. I think FIRST should be responsible to us (the customers) to tell us what they are doing with that $.

Look at FIRST Audited financials



Its not very detailed but it gives round numbers.
6K is the tip of the iceburg.

I agree with the idea that 6000 is not that much for a high school team to need. Try and get numbers for a football team in high school. (My favorite line is "But HS football *makes* money" Then why are they always getting money from the school systems?

In another thread I mentioned that from a resource point of view every school that has a football team is essentially a FIRST team.

Summer is almost here (2 days till school is over)
