I understand both your point of view as well as the school's.
The school isn't recognizing that both are equal learning opportunities. You'd get just as much out of attending a second regional as you would attending nats. But, you've got to understand that to a school, $5000 is much better spent when they can boast that they went to a national-level competition rather than a second regional-level competition.
