Maybe there was some internal dispute between ADs?



No idea.I always heard the AD's had a meeting to hammer
out the 5 permanent teams in the early 60's and Bear had a huge influence on who played who.

Not sure if it's true or not

In the early '60s? The Bear was respected but not, well, the Bear that far back, right? It would make more sense if he exerted his influence on who played whom in the mid-'70s, I would think.
