I am a firm believer that what works in one region may not work in another. FiM's model works for them. They are not forcing it on you. Why require them to follow what you believe is the right model.
Edit: Woops I misread OP. They have forced this on you. Disregard my argument.

You have made emotional and anecdotal cases for disagreeing with the structure FiM has established. Do you have data to support this petition?

The above argument has nothing to do with growth of FRC. So I don't think data is really necessary to support this claim. Can't really argue with how someone else feels about a decision.
The thread title implies that Michigan will "kill" FLL with its model. I think it's fair to say the title is quite the hyberbole and that Michigan's numbers prove it is not killing the program.
