USFL will suspend play until ’87

NEW YORK (AP) — The USFL,
struggling for money to survive, sus
pended play for a year Monday
while it seeks a network television
contract and an increase in the $3 it
was awarded in its antitrust suit
against the NFL.
“The emotional decision was to
play this year but sometimes you
have to make a business decision,”
owner Lee Scarfone of the Tampa
Bay Bandits said. “This was a busi
ness decision.”
He estimated the season would
have cost the eight owners $40 mil
lion to $50 million, in addition to the
$150 million they have already lost.
six-member U.S. District Court jury
found that the NFL was a monopoly,
but awarded the USFL only $1 of
the $1.69 billion in damages that it
sought. Under antitrust laws, the
award was trebled to $3.
The 4-year-old league operated
for three years with a spring-sum-
would seek a court injunction asking
that the NFL be required to drop
one of its three network TV con
tracts. He said the league also would
seek a new hearing on damages be
cause of what it considered to be the
confusion some jurors had in decid

reached their verdict last Tuesday.

The immediate effect of the deci
sion was to leave in limbo the con
tracts of the dozen or so remaining
star-quality players, including Jim
Kelly and Kelvin Bryant, all of
whom could step into the NFL im
mediately. The USFL appointed a
committee to discuss the situation
with the league’s players association
but no immediate resolution was ex
pected.
Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie,
two Heisman Trophy winners with
the New Jersey Generals, have per

its first fall schedule Sept. 13 and the
first training camps were set to open
Aug. 14. The last time any USFL
players suited up was July 1985 for
the league championship game.
The agreement not to play this
year came less than a week after a
Commissioner Harry Usher said
the decision to suspend operations
would leave the USFL free to consol
idate operations this year, then seek
a television contract for next year.
And some owners were hoping that
if the NFL goes on strike next year,
the USFL could come in to fill the
void.
Meanwhile, he said, the USFL
But as for this year, he said:
“Because of the unbelievable im
possibility of effectively playing pro
football without a television
agreement with a network, we are
postponing play until the injunctive
relief is granted or until the eradica
tion of the confusion created by this
$1 damage award.”
The immediate effect seemed to
be confusion among players and
even USFL employees.

Hosting Olympics possible for Housto
HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S.
Olympic Festival completed its most
successful performance and moved
on Monday, leaving behind the,
groundwork for helping the city
host more top amateur events, per
haps even the Olympics.
City officials already had an
nounced preliminary plans to seek
the Olympic Games in the year 2000,
and they now hope to host other ma
jor amateur events.
The Olympic Festival, held in one
of the nation’s largest cities and add
ing “Olympic” to its title for the first
time, drew a record crowd of more
than 340,000 for the 10-day extrava
ganza. Officials figures won’t be
available for about a week, organiz
ers said.
The previous record was 250,000
at Indianapolis in 1982, and at Colo
rado Springs, Colo., in 1983.
The recent major league All-Star
Game in the Astrodome and the
Olympic Festival added an estimated
$25 million to the city’s struggling
economy.
“We thought we could generate
$20 million for the city if the All-Star
Game could generate $4 million to
$5 million,” said Jack Kelly, exec
utive director of the local organizing
committee. “There has been a lot of
talk among ourselves about the
Olympics.”
Local organizers said 21 groups or
companies committed $10,000 or
more toward sponsorship of the
event. Sponsorships surpassed $2
million.
Attendance records were estab
lished in individual sports, including
a sellout crowd of 15,630 for Sun
day’s final gymnastics performance
in The Summit. The four-day gym
nastics competition drew a record
47,274 fans.
Ernest Deal, chairman of the local
organizing committee, said his
group hopes to use the momentum
from the Olympic Festival to draw
other top amateur events to the city,
including the Olympic Games.
“We plan in the next couple of
weeks to sit down with Mayor
(Kathy) Whitmire and make recom
mendations,” Deal said. “One of
those recommendations will be to
form an ongoing effort to take ad
vantage of the momentum from the
Festival.”
The Olympics in the year 2000
apparently would be the first chance
Houston has to bid for the event.
The 1988 Olympics Games are
scheduled for Seoul, South Korea
and the host for the 1992 Games will
be announced in October by the In-

ternational Olympic Committee.
The 1996 Games allegedly are being
aimed at either Athens, site of the
first modern Olympics in 1896, or
Paris.
General George D. Miller, secre
tary general of the U.S. Olympic
Committee, said Houston had ex
pressed interest in hosting the Pan
American Games and the Olympics.
“It’s clear the necessary facilities
are available and hotels and trans
portation seem adequate to support
that,” Miller said.
Houston would like to follow the
example of Indianapolis, which
hosted the Festival in 1982 then won
the bid to host the Pan American
Games in 1987 as well as ij
Olympic trials in several sports.
Miller said the Olympics J
wouldn’t be held in the UnitedS
until the turn of the century.
Deal thinks the Festival pf'
