I looked it up. This year in Michigan we have 170 teams that are 3rd year and older (not rookies or second year). Of that 170...

54 (32%) have NEVER been to District Championship
5 (3%) last attended in 2009
11 (6%) last attended in 2010
16 (9%) last attended in 2011
24 (14%) last attended in 2012
60 (35%) last attended in 2013

70 out of 170 (41%) 3rd year and above teams have zero students that have ever experienced states. These teams are arguably more in need of a culture boost than rookie and second year teams are, yet they don't have any special points allotted.

PS - I attached the spreadsheet with data if anybody else wants to play. Be forewarned that it's a bit messy.
