Former Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith to join Big Ten school as consultant
Former Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has joined Maryland as a consultant Former Ohio State Athletic Director just couldn't quite get enough of golf and travel, apparently. After riding off into the sunset with retirement a year ago, according to a report from the Columbus Dispatch, Smith will act as a consultant to the Maryland Athletic Department. The post is designed to last six months, and the former AD seemed to welcome the ability to keep his mind active and fresh. 'You have to have something to keep you mentally active,' Smith said to the Dispatch, 'and the consulting and board work keeps me mentally active. Obviously, I'm not working 80-plus hours a week.' The news makes sense considering Smith will be working with former Ohio State associate athletic director for marketing and communications Jim Smith, who just accepted the position of Athletic Director at Maryland last month. The plan, according to the story, is for Smith to be available for bi-monthly Zoom calls and other impromptu sessions as needed to help Smith navigate his renewed foray into big-time college sports. 'I've got over 40 years of war wounds in this business,' Gene Smith said. 'It'll just be on what he's dealing with at the time.' Two Smiths working together to solve what ails Maryland seems like a match made in 'Terps heaven.

Columbus Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov requests trade, cites 'misunderstandings'
Yegor Chinakhov, a forward from Russia and a former first-round draft pick of the Blue Jackets, has asked for a trade from the franchise. The agent for Chinakhov made a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, about the trade request on July 17. 'I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season,' read the post quoting Chinakhov. 'Now I would be glad to have a trade. I would like to move to a different location. Will I return to Russia? As long as I can play in the NHL, I will keep developing here.' Chinakhov, who was selected with the No. 21 overall selection in 2020, missed nearly half of last season with a back injury, an issue that also sidelined him for the final 17 games in the previous season. NHL SCHEDULE RELEASE: Key dates for 2025-26 season He has not appeared in more than 53 games in a season since he was a rookie in 2021-22.
