106If they eliminate divisions and stick with conferences, they could do a 77 game season. Play each conference opponent 3 times (15*3), each cross-conference opponent twice (16*2). But odd numbers don't work for a schedule unless you’re the NFL, where most of you money comes from TV rather than the gate), half the league would have 1 more home game, but they’d alternate every year.
16x2 (32) Cross Conference
8x4 (32) Cross Division
7x6 (42) Intra Division
or
74
16x1 (16) Cross Conference
8x2 (16) Cross Division
7x6 (42) Intra Division
or
82
16x1 (16) Cross Conference
8x3 (24) Cross Division
7x6 (42) Intra Division
Now that was easy
