Figures since everyone here seems to be so knowledgeable, might as well keep asking questions.

Associations cannot be used for minor leagues.

And it is a shame because the PCL and IL are a perfect situation where an association would be truly wonderful.

A joint all-star game, and a joint post season championship.

But alas, it can only be used for majors. Or more technically, for parent leagues. Which to me serves no use since this thread proves. League associations would do a nice job simulating the early majors, when the National League and American League were truly separate, with different rules and such. But the sub-league model is the far better one to use for modern day MLB, but there is no way to transition from one to the other and not muck up your history.

Hopefully one day associations will be extended to minor leagues.
