I really hope not.

Indiana is still too spread out. And with one corner of the state barely populated with teams (SW corner) and the other corner/side devoid of teams (Cincinatti/Lousiville area*), I think the district system isn't appropriate.


*- I'll save this for another thread, as I live there and have a few things to say.

Aside from Indy, the state doesn't have enough teams crammed in one specific area to warrant districts. Kokomo and Lafayette have more than a few, but otherwise, it's too spread for districts to truly be districts.

I think the current two regional + 3 slightly out-of state regional setup is doing well... maybe a 3rd regional would ease tension. But districts, I'm not feeling it.
