Some of your suggestions above are _really_ interesting...

Many of those teams were already failing. If FiT can get two districts in Lubbock, one in El Paso and one in the McAllen area, it should only help those struggling areas.

There will be teams that will struggle with this in West Texas(~2) but they aren't the only ones there are also teams in East Texas(~4-5) and a couple of Coastal Teams(~2) that may need help in the first couple of years but going by 2016 teams it shouldn't be more then 15 total teams. Hopefully FiT will find some funds or expectations for them.
