Life at the Sports Business Journal with Ben Portnoy

Welcome to another episode of the Golden Hour, a content series from us at the Horizon League. In today's episode, we talk with Ben Portnoy about his experiences as a journalist for the Sports Business Journal and beyond. Check out his work at sportsbusinessjournal.com and follow him at @bportnoy15 on social media.Check out the coalition article: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/08/15/mid-major-conferences-launch-coalition-to-lobby-capitol-hill-and-protect-their-future-in-college-sports/ Why Golden Hour? It won’t be a full hour, but the name derives from the namesake of our League – that time each day when the sun meets the earth which equates to that balance of student and athlete. Additionally, we have termed big wins by Horizon League teams over autonomous conferences teams as Golden Hour victories. This is our digital version of a big win…a big conversation with key people around the Horizon League and beyond.
