I can't see there being much resistance at all. There are many people that have wanted the Crossmen free from Yea! for a long, long time... including me. The only negative is the corps tradition with the Pennsylvania/New Jersey area, Allentown and all that, but I don't really care about it too much, I'm from Texas. If George Hopkins had his way, he'd get to keep the Crossmen.
I remember the long time drum major Rebecca Terry (sp?), once said that the reasons she buys lottery tickets, is so that one day when she wins, she could buy the crossmen. I guess now she won't have to.
