I think it would be great for southern/eastern Wisconsin to join IL, but it seems like FIRST doesn't want states split like that anymore. Realistically, though, splitting Wisconsin diagonally so the northwest joins MN and the southeast joins IL is the only real way we could enter the district system, unless we add something like 20 teams. Wisconsin only had 41 teams last season, and the team distribution doesn't really help.

All of IL and WI could combine, although it might be a pain for NW Wisconsin/SW Illinois teams. It would make the rumored IL district more viable, and would make the MN/IA/WI district more manageable in terms of volunteers and team locations.
