On one hand, the move seemed like a logical next step for the rap mogul. He had recently announced his Roc Nation would serve as a consultant for NFL entertainment, including the Super Bowl halftime show.

The USFL was founded with the following tenet set in stone: avoid fights with the NFL. Like any upstart league, it differentiated itself by being more entertaining. The league had a free-wheeling, outlaw attitude about it and a handful of marquee players, including Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker of the New Jersey Generals. Jim Kelly, Reggie White, Steve Young, and Doug Flutie also spent time in the USFL. The league got off to a promising start in 1983, however, by its second season, the public’s enthusiasm for spring football had waned a bit and some of the league’s biggest franchises were struggling....
