could the association feature work if NL were created as a major League?

IF the Negro Leagues could be added to OOTP 18, it would be great if they were created as as alternate Major League, in the same way Nippon League is.

i just recently discovered the "association" feature, and possibly Markus and Co. could make it so the Negro Leagues could be associated with Majors and then have a playoff after the season.

now, i am just thinking out loud, as i don't really know all that can and can't be done with association, but the basis (from what liitle i understand at this point) would be the closest i've seen to being able to match Major and Negro Leagues in a post season. Maybe someone needs to correct me, or give guidance on those assumptions .....

there is data for players and teams (don't know if those are in the OOTP future database yet) for the Negro Leagues before 1900. - So if they were created "separate but equal" (as the owners once tried to do) maybe i could recreate "my" weird dream world from 1901 to 1955! Anyway, just a suggestion and hope.
