We can certainly do this, but it's more than a perception thing.  The money goes into two different banks.  The NMS belongs to the Corporation, and is sent to California.  The site fee goes to the sponsoring branch(es), and stays in Texas and Oklahoma.

Your proposal is quite legal, but is functionally equivalent to saying the local branches will pay the NMS for everybody.  Any local branch that's making a lot of money every year might legitimately consider this.  But those breaking even or losing money probably shouldn't.
