Call me a cynic, but I see this as a business proposition. I agree to buy their product, and provide advertising for them by placing their decal on my car. IF I win or R/U (and that's an awfully big 'IF'), they agree to pay me for purchasing their product, and displaying their decal on my car.

Will I thank them for their check when they send it? Maybe, maybe not - it depends upon if the situation presents itself. If a contractor comes to my house, and I pay him for a job well done, most likely I also tell them thank you as I walk them to the door. But, do I call Amazon.com or any other Internet retailer every time I have a successful business transaction with them? No, and I doubt any of you do either.

Let me take this one step further - do the posting companies CALL YOU to THANK YOU when you BUY THEIR PRODUCT and run THEIR DECALS ON YOUR CAR WHEN YOU DON'T WIN?

"Hi Jason - this is Jim from XYZ Company. I just wanted to call you to thank you for your business, and to thank you for the free advertising you gave us this past weekend while you were running our decal on your car but were only fortunate enough to get to the quarterfinals. Tough break, and better luck next time!"

Uh, no, that doesn't happen. So, please don't give me any crap about the contingency sponsors not paying because we're not showing them enough gratitude. That's just another excuse as to why we're not getting paid.
