Keep up the pressure and continue with the excellent feedback.

I'm in the same boat as Andy and Rick. You guys are definitly at a key point where if this does go through it can have a domino effect around the country (perhaps even world). I know that Florida is definitly in an education crisis since it's been trying to improve it's low-rated system the past few years and to say to them "Hey, Michigan just pumped $2 million into this great college preparation program..." it definitly helps everybody say "Well, we'll match or beat that to show that our education system is great too." I wish you the best of luck, both for the way it will help future teams in your state as well as hopefully the domino effect it will start.
