The distance from Miami to Atlanta is about 700 miles. (coincidentally the distance from Atlanta to Detroit is about 700 miles.) If the states combined to one district, the logical choice for district champs would be around Jacksonville. A long commute for a good many teams. While you get some teams traveling a long ways district events, it would be more a north district meeting the southern district at district champs. From a competition stand point, it would make a good pool of competitive teams if distance was not an issue.
While I am not part of the planning committee so obliviously do not speak for them, likely location for district events: Atlanta metro, Macon, Athens, Albany, Columbus.
