Another issue is what a single new team does to the scheduling. While I am sure they would figure something out, the current league structure makes for a pretty good scheduling system that enhances divisional rivalry and is pretty equitable w/in the divisional system, but still allows for fans to see every team in the league play their team over the course of four seasons.

32 teams and a 16 game season seems to be a pretty good congruence of numbers. Not sure it would work so well with 33, 34 or 35. Not even sure if 36 would work but that's where I think you would have to go to get the formulaic scheduling we have now. (which I like BTW).
