November 12, 20241 yr Fox knows they can't compete with Saturday Night Football and the SEC so they choose to dominate the noon timeslot. These schools knew that when they signed those big ass TV contracts.
November 12, 20241 yr I'm sure Colorado fans are going to enjoy the big 10am on Saturday. f fox and the eastern time zone

November 13, 20241 yr Ohio State can bitch all they want, but that's also what happens when you play a bunch of shit teams. You get the noon ET slot.

November 13, 20241 yr Yeah, Ohio State is getting the Big Noon spots repeatedly because they draw decent ratings. The issue is Fox has only one exclusive Big 10 window. CBS has the 2nd window at 2:30 and NBC has a nighttime window unless Notre Dame is playing a night game and then NBC can switch to an earlier time. It's why the SEC being only one family of networks is much better for us.
November 13, 20241 yr It's also why our Michigan game was at 11 and why we'll avoid the dreaded shoe at night next year.
November 13, 20241 yr Im sure many teams from the SEC and ACC will keep this in mind for the September slate. Good chance you'll get an away game at Noon as long as Fox still has the contract.
November 13, 20241 yr Haven't followed the conversation much but the noon eastern time slot draws better ratings than any other after controlling for teams and network. At least it did the last time I ran the analysis.

I think Georgia Texas is the highest rated game of the year.

They scheduled Marshall and still played at noon. They’ve watched their last away night game at Penn State and Wisconsin. And they’ll never get a night game at the Coliseum or the Rose Bowl. Much like Florida State, I have zero pity for them. They have good lawyers too just like the TV networks. They signed the contact anyway. Klatt likely came out swinging because he has too, and he probably loves his set up. His work day is done every Saturday at 4 Eastern. He can sleep in his bed every Saturday. Meanwhile, Herbie is living out hotel suites for 3 months out of the year.
November 14, 20241 yr The On3 national commentators think the SEC night games could be getting a better number than the FOX noon games. It was a bit confusing. They said they won’t know for sure until after the season.

Those will go to NBC or CBS with a tradeoff. Each network gets one pick at the start of the year. That will always be Fox taking Ohio State-Michigan. Klatt also is getting tired of shitty Big Noon games. He does a weekly show on the Ticket in Dallas and he was scoffing at the Purdue-Ohio State matchup he had to call. Last year they laughed at how he had to call the worst Michigan games. He at least gets Colorado this week. Next year, he'll get to call Texas-Ohio State unless NBC or CBS steals it. I hope CBS does as I was sad we never got to do an SEC game on CBS. Week to week ratings are here. SEC on ABC is winning most weeks. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ Edited November 14, 20241 yr by mdmost

The SEC night games have been drawing more, but I think that might be because they’ve generally been better matchups. With Michigan’s fall, tOSU is really the only major draw in the Big Ten right now. Fox really misses UT and OU in the Big 12.

August 27Aug 27 I had never heard of Portnoy till today. The previews are talking about him and I heard he got banned. My first thought was to think what an aggy thing to do. Then they mentioned Ohio State 's AD and I thought, oh now it makes sense.
August 27Aug 27 To be fair, Portnoy really has no business on the fox cfb desk. He will unapologetically pimp Michigan whenever he can, and nobody wants to hear that bullshit other than Michigan fans. In addition he's an active booster playing a lead role in landing 5* talent. Its his right to do so, but Fox should know better than to let him use their platform to help UM succeed. Quote Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 recruiting class, flipped from LSU to Michigan last Thursday. For nearly nine months, the top-ranked quarterback was locked in with LSU. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy started the efforts for the Belleville, Michigan, star to stay closer to home. In late September, Portnoy announced he planned to spend $1 to $3 million annually on the quarterback position for Michigan. “That started the ball rolling on what will forever be known as the Renaissance of Michigan,” Portnoy said Tuesday on his Barstool College Football Show. “… It set off a series of events, a chain reaction. When we did it, I said I wanted to do it myself. I wanted to find the guy. I don’t want the NIL, and then they’ll do stuff with Barstool.” In early October, the Wolverines ramped up their efforts to flip Underwood. A week or two after Portnoy’s initial proclamation that he was going to bring back Michigan football and fund the quarterback position, he received a phone call and some help. “I got a call from the Michigan football team,” Portnoy said. “They said, ‘Hey, there’s this donor who wants to talk to you.’ I said I’m doing this [landing Underwood] by myself, and I don’t need to talk to anybody. And they said, ‘Please, this woman is a big fan of Barstool and you; she’d love to talk to you. Her name is Jolin.’ … They said, ‘Oh, her husband is a guy by the name of Larry Ellison. Have you ever heard of him?’ Oh, Larry Ellison? The No. 2 richest guy on the planet? Yeah, I’ll take that phone call. “That night, we’re on a Zoom. And we’re talking. … She said, ‘I never want to live that era [Brady Hoke] ever again. We’re the national champs, I have two kids. I can’t stomach waking up on a Saturday knowing we’re not the best team on the field.’ And I said, ‘I’m with you. What do we have to do?’ And she said, ‘I know what we’ll do. Let’s set up a call tomorrow night with Bryce Underwood and his parents.’ I said count me in. This was a month and a half ago.” Edited August 27Aug 27 by Blotto

It's got some decent analysis with Leinart, Brady Quinn, and Meyer but it's also chalk full of buffoonery, stupid live music, and dipshits like Clay Travis and that awful Bear. It's going to be even more of a Big 10 suckoff fest now. Saban is miles better than anything else they have on that show.
