what is the Liga MX reasoning for splitting the seasons when they have 18 teams?
why not 34 games single season?

Well, that's what most of Latin America (and the NASL) does

I Googled to find an answer for why, because I didn't know. Found this on Yahoo! Answers:

The Apertura and Clausura format can be seen as a means to fill in the gaps caused by the inherent lack of elimination cup competitions in most Latin American nations.

It was done due to the financial problems teams at the bottom of the table were having due to poor attendance. The FMF determined that moving to the two season format like the rest of Latin America would fix that.
