None that I know of, but I'm definitely vocal about it. Sometimes if you shout loud enough, things can happen...
To my knowledge: no, there is no discussion of this. Some gatekeepers in South Carolina have yet to be convinced on districts, and despite being neighbors I don't see a ton of collaboration between the two states' organizers. (Fun fact: Not one Georgia team has attended SCRIW. Ever.) Add in that it's 5-6 hours from Myrtle Beach to Athens (not even an extreme case, you almost need toes to count the Horry County teams now), and mark my words: the Palmetto Regional will continue until the time is right (or mandated) for the Palmetto District.
