Jim Byrne resigned Friday after three years as the U.S. Football League's director of communications, league commisioner Harry Usher announced Friday.
“I regret to see Jim leave,” Usher said. “His valuable contribution to the league will be sorely missed.”
“It has been an interesting two years, to say the least,” Byrne said.
“The USFL presents many challenges and many rewards. Our championship game ended the season on a high note, and when you hit that note, it's time to move on. I have decided to pursue several long-term interests of mine, both in and out of the sports arena.”
“The USFL, despite its current problems, will survive and be a major force in sports.”
Byrne will serve in an advisory capacity to the league through January 1st.
