My suggestion is to keep the 21-week format, but replace one weekend set with a pair of 2-game series Thurs-Sun, and start the season with a Saturday-Sunday 2-game set as well. That gets you to 24 and 20. If it's critical that every Thursday be an off day, there are probably other workable ways to do it.

Doh! Until you pointed it out, I didn't even realize my mistake in accounting for the 6th team in the other division in the weekly schedule.
I want to say first that I appreciate it that you are giving this time! I am combining my Fallout dynasty league from 4 separate leagues to one 24-team league since the association is not working as I would like.
I pencilled out the schedule, and I think this would work for me:
To accomodate the 8 games I forgot about in my request, make it a 22-week schedule. The first two weeks would only be against teams from the other division with a busy first week of 6 games (3 2-game sets).
The first game would still be a Tuesday, but the first week is (O=other division + D = same division):
Wk 1 = Tue-Wed - O1x2, Thu-Fri - O2x2, Sat-Sun - O3x2
Wk 2 = Mon off, Tue-Wed - O4x2, Sat-Sun - O5X2
Wk 3 = Tue-Wed - O6x2, Fri-Sun = D1x3
That seems to make the math work as I intended with every other week except the all-star game week being an alternating 2 games vs the other division and 3 games vs the same division opponents.
