Disbanded Teams

[bigbeezy]

many teams fold over time. and some , 1889 is a good example, take a year off and are able to come back strong. I remember my rookie year seeing tons of rookies at florida, now only a handfull of us are left. some teams that were struggling just cant take it anymore and fold, some lose sponsors, mentors, advisors. some great teams even fold. I know some teams who have been rather dependant on the NASA grant due to lack of sponsors in their area have it tough after their 2nd year when they are no longer eligable for the grant. (If my info about that is incorrect i'm sorry) its sad but true.
