The USFL is back and this time it’s likely to stick around a bit longer. The league has kicked off this spring in eight of its original 1983 cities (although they won’t play in each) but this time not as a competitor to the NFL but more of a feeder league.
That’s what the original USFL became when it when defunct in 1985. With the league’s eventual financial demise on the horizon, the NFL began to prepare to pick up the pieces by holding a supplemental draft of their players in 1984.
