GAMBLERS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| With
the number of USFL teams reduced from 18 to 14
for the 1985 season, so many veteran players
were made available that the need for a
territorial draft was questioned by some within
USFL circles. |
| -- |
| The
draft was conducted nevertheless, however, with
each team entitled to select up to 25 players
from its territorial schools list. |
| -- |
| The
Gamblers were to pay a $6 million franchise fee
to the USFL, due in 4 installments over the
course of a three year period. |
| -- |
| The
first was for $2.5 million, and was due by July
12, 1983. The second was for $1 million
and was due by June 1, 1984. |
| -- |
| The
third and fourth were for $1.2 and $1.3 million,
respectively, and were due on June 1, 1985 and
1986. It isn't public knowledge if these
payments were ever made. |
