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.

The Oklahoma Outlaws of the USFL played their home games at Skelly Stadium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I belive it was 1992 and the NFL adopted it from the USFL of the 80s.
NO. Cliff Stoudt, who preceeded Malone as Pittsburgh's starting QB, did play in the USFL after he was released by Pgh. He rejoined the NFL and spent several years as a back up with the Arizona Cardinals, before finishing his career with brief stints in Dallas and Miami.
Herschel Walker is not in the Hall of Fame because his most productive years were in the USFL, not in the NFL. While he played only 3 seasons in the USFL for the New Jersey Generals, he was able to match that productivity only once in his NFL career. His play ing the NFL was good, but not great. Based on his lack of productivity in the NFL, the HOF selection committee never voted to enshrine him into the HOF.
