Sports Ministry Bars 'India' Use in DCCI Name — and more

The ministry stated that only government-recognized federations are permitted to use the terms 'India' or 'Indian' in their names and activities. Similar notices have been sent to other sports bodies including the Women's Football Federation of India and the Indian Body Builders' Federation.

DCCI secretary Ravi Kant Chauhan confirmed receiving the letter and requested NSF status, noting that despite lack of formal recognition, the council has organized World Cups, Asia Cups, and national tournaments with BCCI's backing. The ministry cited the National Sports Governance Act as the legal basis for these directives.

A trade offer for 34‑year‑old defenseman Oliver Ekman‑Larsson has surfaced, reportedly bringing a first‑round draft pick back to Toronto before the March 6 NHL trade deadline.

Ekman‑Larsson has posted 35 points (8 goals, 27 assists) in 59 games this season and has previously helped the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup in 2023‑24. The Leafs would use the pick to rebuild their future, though the veteran may prefer to stay in Toronto.

The Miami Dolphins have already made a few big changes this offseason, including overturning their coaching staff and moving on from some of the most talented players on their roster.

Among those players that Miami is parting ways with is linebacker Bradley Chubb, whose release as a post-June 1 cut will open up $20.23 million in cap space for the 2026 season.

There are a lot of teams that could use a strong pass rusher this offseason, and ESPN's Aaron Schatz projected that the Colts will sign Chubb for at least this year.

"The Colts ranked just 30th in pass rush win rate (29.1%) last season, and three of their top four pass rushers are hitting free agency. So, this is a good time to bring in a veteran," Schatz wrote. "The Dolphins cut Chubb to clear money off their salary cap, but he is still just 30 years old. He had 8.5 sacks last season with 36 pressures."

It's tough to expect Chubb to make up for the production of Kwity Paye, Tyquan Lewis and Samson Ebukam next year, but he can certainly help make things easier if all three depart in the coming weeks.

As for Miami, they won't be looking to bring Chubb back, and right now, the only true edge rusher they have right now is 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson. They'll need to invest in the position at some point in the offseason because, as of now, their defensive front is set to be significantly weaker, which will only make the thin cornerback room look even thinner.

For NFL Draft fans, there is nothing quite like the NFL combine. The testing is not much in terms of action, but regardless, it gets you on the edge of your seat for the first time since the Super Bowl.

On Friday, we get to see two position groups on the field with actual testing in the tight ends and defensive backs. Both are positions that the Bucs could use some help at this draft cycle, so we wanted to give you some players to watch today when testing begins at 1:00 p.m. EST on NFL Network.

In this piece, we will focus specifically on running backs. The Bucs need to replace Rachaad White, who they expect to lose in free agency. If the team wants a replacement, the draft is going to be the best place to do so. With that in mind, here are five players we are looking forward to seeing test at the NFL combine.

Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame

Jeremiyah Love is the next player up who seems destined to break the combine with what he is capable of. He has already cemented himself as a top player in this class, but with a strong combine, he could become the best player in this class. If anything, he can complicate choices for the teams at the top as they decide against best player available and drafting a need.

Jadarian Price, Notre Dame

Jadarian Price is looking to cement himself as the RB2 in the class with a strong combine. He didn't have a lot of on-field reps being behind Love at Notre Dame, but that isn't stopping anyone from being excited about him. Price will have every chance to cement himself as a top choice in the class with what many expect to be a good showing in terms of testing on Saturday.

Desmond Reid, Pittsburgh

There are not many more players in the draft who play with more heart and determination than Desmond Reid. The Pittsburgh running back is undersized for the position, but you wouldn't know it watching his film. Reid should test wel given his size and athleticism, but also because Pittsburgh has been putting out quite the athletes in recent drafts.

Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas

Mike Washington has caught fire this draft cycle after acing his Senior Bowl week. He now comes into the combine with some potential to become maybe the RB3 or even the RB2 in this class. Washington has the power in his running style, but showcasing some finesse and speed would go a long way with evaluators.

Jonah Coleman, Washington

Jonah Coleman is in contention for RB2 in this class alongside Jadarian Price and Mike Washington. The former Husky has shown a strong work ethic, adding to his frame these past two seasons in Washington. Now, as a draft prospect, evaluators will have to see how his preparation has gone ahead of his testing day.
