Canaveral: I may know what's happening - at least I've had similar happen to me.
Though it seems to give you the option, do not bother changing names on the league structure screen. It won't take.
I would first make any league structure changes you need to during an offseason. If you do this and the new format is ahistorical, then generate a schedule.
After you're done, THEN go to the names page and change names/abbreviations etc. I'm not sure if it's still required or not, but for OOTP I got in the habit of hitting enter after every single change.
For example, if I wanted to move a team to Hartford, I'd input 'Hartford' <enter><tab>'Nickname'<enter><tab>'HAR'<enter>
