At R2OC this year Dan Green said they're pushing for Illinois to switch for the 2017 season, but that they want more teams first. I think he said the goal was to grow IL's current 58 teams to 65 before they switch.

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.
