Same as the game actually do when the unaffiliated team in the Texas League start affiliated after some years... only two teams are affiliated when the league show up first in the game.
Also by your logic how do you explain the Federal League and the Negro Leagues? None of them are affiliated, they are both independent minor leagues going by the game logic and shouldn't be in the game by your logic if you can't have unaffiliated leagues...
Whatever a league is or isn't affiliated isn't relevant... some years ago I played with the 19th century minor leagues (not all of them but some) manually created with the real players and it worked fine, I just stop doing it because it was a pain in the ass to do all that manually every seasons and, to be honest, I think the minor league system is a mess since it doesn't work with the transaction system.
