Renew a Private League from last 3 seasons

Private Leagues can be "renewed" from year to year, allowing returning managers to jump right into the new season with the same settings used in any of the last 3 seasons. Private Leagues automatically renew by default. You can manually renew early. To disable Auto-renew, you must manually renew your league and update Auto-renew settings in commish tools.
