This is my (probably uninformed and unrealistic) idea.
Form 8 regional divisions. There would be a few oddballs, a la Dallas in NFCE, but for example SEA, SF, LAR, LAC. Another LV, ARZ, HOU, DAL. Each region quarantines at a neutral site, and each team plays 6 games.
The 8 groups would be split into 2 conferences. Conference A plays odd weeks, Conference B even weeks. Allows for 14 day quarantine between each game. 8 games/weekend, split into 4 TV slots on Sat/Sun to maximize viewership (people smarter than me would probably figure stuff like that out.)
8 team playoff, the 4 division winners. If situation has improved, 1 and 2 seeds play in their home stadium, same for "conference" championship.
Thats my "throw crap at wall and see what sticks" idea. There is still really no solution for the inevitable infections among players that I feel will ultimately derail any season.
