INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — What were you doing 50 years ago? For those who have been around long enough to think about this question, the answer is probably a little fuzzy. That’s not the case for Indianapolis Indians broadcaster Howard Kellman, who can tell you exactly what he was doing: working tirelessly to get a broadcast job in Minor League Baseball. That mission was successful, as Kellman was hired by the team he still calls games for today, and he is now on the cusp of his golden anniversary season. Kellman’s remarkable longevity is comparable, on an individual level, to that…

NEW YORK — André Tourigny was answering a routine pregame question about lineup changes Monday morning at Madison Square Garden when he made a point he admittedly knows he couldn’t have made honestly at the during his first two seasons as coach of the Arizona Coyotes. “We have 22 guys here that can play every night, have had a really good camp and we’re really comfortable being in the lineup at any time,” said the third-year Coyotes coach .

The landscape changed dramatically in June 2021, when the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) implemented an interim name, image and likeness, or NIL, policy allowing student-athletes to earn money thanks to their personal brand. The NCAA interim policy consists of three main parts: Athletes may participate in NIL activities if they follow the laws of the state in which their school…
