Every league in the world that I can think of has it as an affiliate league. D-League in NBA, Minors in Baseball, AHL in Hockey, NCAA more or less for Football. Soccer doesn't really have it but they have a send-down version in that they send players on loan to shitty squads.
It's not really an affiliate league though. It's just that they're linked. And IDK, I was picturing a setup like the NFL: pro teams and "developmental" (college) teams are separate. I feel like that makes things easier, in keeping a team together. Although I guess if GMs are willing to send players right back down, then it becomes similar.
