The issue with New York isn't that it's a big state in general. It's that there are two pretty significant clusters of teams: one in the city, and one in Rochester, which are prohibitively far from one another to ask any significant portion of teams to travel from one to the other. It would be analogous to having a bunch of teams clustered around Detroit, but then another significant cluster 7 or 8 hours away.
There's also the fact that the downstate teams are geographically much closer to most of MAR and most of NE than the upstate teams.
I believe that the most likely scenario is for Western/upstate New York to form it's own district system soon, and leave the city and the island in regional limbo for another year or two.
