Ok, I am not sure if this is legitimate, but I am kind of excited. I grew up in the 1980's, and I DID watch the USFL. I enjoyed spring football, and really would have liked to see the original USFL succeed (Curse you Donald Trump):
The New United States Football League To Kick Off in February 2010
Redondo Beach, CA – August 13, 2008 – A new professional football league will launch its inaugural season February 20, 2010 as the New United States Football League (USFL), it was announced today by Michael Dwyer, founder and chairman of the new league. The New USFL season will run from February through June and will feature a sixteen-game season with no pre-season games. There will also be wild card and division playoffs leading to a new USFL championship Game at the end of June. This schedule is designed to avoid any overlap with other major football leagues and provide fans with football excitement year round.
The league will start with 12 teams and grow to a maximum of 16 teams. Teams are currently slotted for California, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, Utah and New York. Tom Shapiro, USFL Commissioner and Assistant City Attorney of Santa Barbara, CA, said, “Americans love football – it’s a fact that’s been proven year after year. We’ve worked long and hard to develop a winning league concept that Americans can really buy into. In fact, 30% of each team will be sold to the public in stocks, with an additional 20% of each team held by the league. We think this will help create fan loyalty and discourage teams from moving
around.”
He added that the league believes its owners will have the financial strength, personal reputation and professional accomplishments that equal any group of professional league owners in existence today. The stock sales should help generate another $40 to $50 million in capital to help ensure the success of the New United States Football League.
