That's very close to true. When a league expands to 16-teams, then yes it is essentially split into two leagues. This is not done, however, to avoid a "slight blip" in the schedule, but to ensure schedule fairness among all of the teams competing for the same playoff spot. That's the entire point of symmetrical schedules, and it's preferable from that perspective to acknowledge that it's time to split a large league into two than to create a schedule imbalance.

You are correct, this is my choice. I'm not to deny that. But I suspect that I am not the only person who appreciates the fairness of symmetrical schedules.

There are other 16-team, 154-game schedules out there, but none that I can find that have the 14 divisional/7 non-divisional setup.

See, that's an opportunity! You can do what I did and figure out how to make your own custom schedule and then create that 14/7 setup and share it with your like-minded players.
