but here's the thing - The last team I was on the sponsors and the school would only pay for certain things: registration fees? no problem

food for the students or mentors? no way! the students had to get food money from their parents, or sell candy or something to cover meals.

How ironic is that? Most student would rather have that $50 box of M&Ms they sold, than the food that they had to eat at some of the regionals (which they bought with the same money)!
