Trump took ownership of the Generals in 1984 after initially attempting to purchase the team prior to the franchise’s first game.
Under Trump’s ownership, the Generals went 25-11 (14-4, 11-7) and made the playoffs in each of his two seasons, but lost in their first playoff game both years.
Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie played for the Generals before pursuing careers in the NFL, respectively. Trump wanted to move the Generals to New York, but the league folded in 1986, shortly after the schedule was to be moved from the spring and summer to the fall to compete directly with the NFL.
