donald trump
in 1983, trump's new jersey generals became a charter member of the new united states football league (usfl). before the inaugural season began in 1983, trump sold the franchise to oklahoma oil magnate j. walter duncan, and bought it back after the season. he then attempted to hire longtime miami dolphins coach don shula, but the deal fell apart because he was unwilling to meet shula's demand for an apartment in trump tower. trump ended up hiring former new york jets coach walt michaels. the usfl played its first three seasons during the spring and summer, but trump convinced the majority of the owners of other usfl teams to move the usfl 1986 schedule to the fall, directly opposite the national football league (nfl), arguing that it would eventually force a merger with the nfl, which would supposedly increase their investment significantly.
