32 teams = 2 x 16-team conferences = 4 x 8-team divisions

Home and home against other conference = 32 games
Home and home against other division in own conference = 16 games
2 home and 2 away against own division: 28 games
Total = 76

So you'd need to have a rotating "extra game against in-conference opponent" like they worked into the current schedule. That's the odd wrinkle that would need to be worked out.
