Quote:It happened 30 years ago when they were trying to break the monopoly the NFL had on TV rights. Trump wanted to take the USFL to the fall to go head to head with the NFL. They won the lawsuit, but it killed the league. There are a few owners still around, but the majority won't care. Can he bring more money to the league? That's all that matters.

I'm not sure it would be that simple. You said it yourself; he helped torpedo an entire football league in a bid to sue the NFL, and emerged victorious with all of $3.76 to show for the USFL's efforts. That alone will raise questions in the approval meeting room.

 

He would certainly be a fun owner to watch, though, and I'm sure Bills fans are already lining up around the block for him to take the team because of his promise (that I'm not certain I believe) to keep the Bills in Buffalo.
