A federal judge ruled that the National Football League must pay the now-defunct United States Football League $5.5 million in attorneys’ fees.
The jury in the USFL’s antitrust suit against the NFL found the NFL guilty of monopolizing the marketplace, but awarded the USFL only $1 in damages.
U.S. District Judge Peter Leisure of the Southern District of New York, in his ruling, rejected the NFL’s arguments that the USFL had lost a major portion of its case and therefore wasn’t entitled to have its legal fees paid.
