Add to that the recovery time for football players. They need at least 4 or 5 days for physical recovery which makes multiple games in a week impossible. I threw out 32 teams if they are going to go beyond the current 12 simply because I abhor byes, but 32 would stretch the season out further into January and we don't want the players to miss class (I'm joking). Go to 16 games and keep the conference championships.
