Really the only thing that makes sense to me in a 32 team league is to create 4 divisions within each conference. You then play 2 games out of conference, 3 within conference then 4 or 5 within the division. Then you could create two different Canadian divisions.
Another option that I like better is that you could simply go with 4 Conferences with 2 Divisions each. This scenario actually creates a completely even schedule where you could play out of conference teams twice, the intra-conference teams 4 times and intra-division 6 times and have an exact 82 game schedule.
The only issue with that is that you'd essentially kill the Wales/Campbell trophies, but does anyone really care about those?
