A bankruptcy judge yesterday granted Sports Authority until Sept. 28 to file a chapter 11 plan that outlines financial distributions to its creditors, the Denver Post reported today. The bankrupt sporting goods retailer previously had until June 30 — one day after the scheduled auction of its remaining leases. In addition to the auction process, Sports Authority has enlisted Hilco Streambank to market assets such as its intellectual property, trademarks and the Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium naming rights. Sports Authority also is in discussions with Modell’s and Sports Direct for the sale of as many as 200 stores.
