And it is what is, just a suggestion. I really don't think owners in a playoff race, whether they make it or not, would want a shorter season. It would make for less revenue and a decreased chance of making the playoffs.
Besides it's been a 162 game season since 1961 with expansion from the 16 teams that had been the norm for decades.
