Regular season play:

- a 3-game series against the other 12 teams in your league, home and away (72 games)
- a 2-game series EITHER home OR away against 15 of the 16 teams in the other league (30 games)
- a 2-game series home and away against your "natural" rival as has been in place since 2013 (4 games)

54+72+30+4=160. Each team ends up losing 1 home date and 1 away date.
It's a nice idea, but I feel like that would just add a shitload of travel to an already brutal schedule.

There probably is no "perfect solution" that will satisfy everybody or not cause a bunch of complications.
