I agree. But a multi million dollar sponsor would not. Not only do they want the team they sponsor in the DANCE but podium places too.
Many teams run on contigancey money from a sponsor. Some money now, some money before the event and DEPENDING on how you finsihs depends on how much more you get. These teams wind up finaicng the oporation as the sponsors money is not fully fundeing the team until after the high place in the big dance.
Sponosrs just dont though 100 of thousands of dollars at teams without some gaurentees of places or TV exposure.
