As good of a businessman as Fred is, I would bet he'll get it fixed. I have every confidence in him both as a fan of DCI in general as well as a Trooper alumni. There are so many things that flow "beneath the surface" that we just can't know everything.
You are right though, an World Class corps such as the Troopers should not be beaten by an Open Class such as BDB (and I mean absolutely no slight to them).
