	Fun while it lasted
		The jury had awarded the USFL $1 in damages, which under law was trebled to a whopping $3, or about $1.5 billion less than the league was seeking.
		But the $1 award was a mortal blow, and the USFL folded after three seasons (1983-85), done in by greed, poor decisions and the power of the NFL.
		USFL teams weren't as deep as their NFL counterparts, but the new league had star power with players such as defensive end Reggie White, linebacker Sam Mills, running back Herschel Walker and quarterbacks Jim Kelly and Steve Young.

		The USFL was the brainchild of David Dixon, a New Orleans entrepreneur who in the 1960s envisioned football as a possible spring and summer sport.
		In essence, the jury felt that while the USFL was harmed by the NFL's de facto monopolization of pro football in the United States, most of its problems were due to its own mismanagement.
		The USFL had essentially staked its future on the outcome of the suit, and considered the television-related claims to be the heart of its case.
