LGO, I would owe you big time of you could create a comparable sked for the game.

We've gone around on this a number of times before, but I'll throw it out there again. Scheduling is a
vastly complicated process, to the extent where the major leagues, who have (more or less) the same structure and scheduling rules every year, have to write their schedules manually, because there's no software program written that can do it well enough. Or so I've heard. I'm hardly in the know.
That said, the "boys" have put a lot of effort, IMHO, into the scheduler, but with limited time and development resources, there's not much more they can do to improve the scheduling (and still add things like FaceGen and improve other existing features). A lot of their effort was spent in making it so that people could import their own schedules, or those created by others, too.
I think, as with many features, this comes down to return on effort. How many hours do Andreas/Markus spend on schedules before they reach the point of diminishing returns, when they could be doing other things to improve the game?
I'm not saying I feel it should be one way or the other, but for now the answer seems to be that they feel their time is better spent in other areas, unfortunately for some customers...
