The league began considering an alternative to its current schedule after some teams complained of an unbalanced number of games in the division.
Currently, each team plays three or four games against division rivals (26 games in total); they play three games against teams in their conference (24 games total); two games each, home and away, against opponents from another conference (32 games total).
