It really was a mess. I didn't really know anything about it until trying to run this simulation. I guess the lack of an organized central structure and the fact that teams could join the league for $10, which wasn't a ton of money, meant that a lot of teams joined without any intention of really taking it seriously. They kind of used the league structure to make money for themselves, which meant a lot of teams dropping out if road trips were too expensive. There wasn't any disincentive to doing it.
