This is weird! I'm a manager, and we're pretty much treated like part of the team. We get our rooms paid for by the school, heck, our coach almost had us leave early w/ the team b/c he assumed we were like the team. I don't feel like we're unappreciated this year. We're treated pretty well. Anyway, I do have to agree that managing is hard. We are there constantly, commiting alot of time, and at times acting like the wrestler's mothers (cleaning up after them,etc). Oh, and we get to go to state, in fact, we're expected to go.
