David Dixon was the original founder of the USFL as he began his pursuit of the USFL, as we know it, back in 1980. The league was formed and announced a press conference in 1982 with play beginning in 1983.
You may find an interesting history of the USFL in Jim Byrne's book "The $1 League: The Rise And Fall Of The USFL." It is out of print, but your library or inter-library loan should be able to help you.
