This is basically all angled to extend the season and be able to add teams.
If you get to 18 games and expanded playoffs look what you can do...You can add a bye to the regular season, you add a round to the playoffs etc and all of the sudden you've extended the season by a month.
Also an 18 game schedule makes expansion easier, don't be surprised if they end up getting up to 40 teams in the next 20 years.
This is all about money, more teams, more weeks more games more money.
