And if it's not about the wait list and other non-regional winning teams who is "weaken the competition level" referring to?

Look at the distribution of teams and available location and it pretty much has to be north/south. FRC is more NE/SE heavy if you split it east west you'll more likely end up unbalanced in numbers or distance.

Not corrupt, but misguided to their mission statement...over expansion too quickly, is never a good thing. That should be common sense. They just expanded by 50% now they want 100%...why?

Those sponsors could pull funding or divert... nothing is guaranteed at all. There are other options.

Championships should be hard to attend..that inspires. Otherwise we end up with mobile KOP platform bots in champs, and what does that teach and/or what message does that send to the next generation? You can skate in life?
