Each of the 4 regional conferences mimic what we roughly think of as college conference sized geographic footprints.
They guarantee representation for the entire country.
They qualify teams for the "champions league style" Super League that is a national competition

This now gives us best vs best from each region running concurrently with the regional conferences
Lots of regional rivalries... something to compete for... the ability for the largest cities in the US to host multiple big clubs without it blowing up the system for everyone else

Last but not least... way more games that matter for TV, way more storylines for media to write about, and more game inventory for broadcast of "top division" games plus the new Super League competition to sell media rights of.
To recap
1. Guarantees regional representation in national competition
2. Allows big cities to have more big clubs without blowing up system
3. Increases revenue
4. Increases competition
5. Increases access for clubs and communities
6. Creates much needed media storylines
