'Govt can't open its coffers to run ISL'

The sports ministry has ruled out government funding for the Indian Super League (ISL), stating that stakeholders must finance its operations. Clubs are advised to cover interim expenses until a new sponsorship deal is secured and to reduce venue numbers to cut costs. A Supreme Court hearing is scheduled to address the league's commercial rights impasse.
