True, but the league itself ceased to exist. For the second time no less.
Interestingly, in the early 1970s, there was talk of reorganizing the AAA level into four 6-team leagues, partially in response to the Energy Crisis so as to make the leagues more geographically compact to reduce travel. The idea never went past the consideration stage.
