One of the biggest hurdles I have heard mentioned with any type of expansion is the availability (or lack thereof) of players to stock the rosters. Four more teams would require an average of at least 40 additional offensive linemen (53 man roster and practice squad included) and 12 more QB's. These two critical areas are already watered down to the point that it is affecting offensive play throughout the league.

Yeah there are a lot of considerations. I think the defense would also dilute with the expansion too making it hopefully not so bad. Expanding the pool of refs with officiating that is already dubious is another big one. But getting to 36 would be so ideal because you could have 6 divisions of 6 teams! Make Division Titles Great Again!

The fewer division titles the fewer selections of NFL merchandise for the league to peddle. If they could think of a way to have 12 divisions they would. LOL. NFC South Champs, NFC North Champs, NFC East Champs, NFC West Champs, NFC Central Champs, NFC Midwest Champs, etc.
