Overview
- The Barstool founder, a vocal Michigan fan, was booed in Columbus, sang "Hail to the Victors," and revealed a shirt reading "Still Can’t Beat Michigan."
- He taunted Buckeye fans on air and called coach Ryan Day "soft" during a WWE‑style segment.
- Urban Meyer presented him with a custom No. 16 Ohio State jersey labeled "El Presidente," which Portnoy mocked.
- Ohio State AD Ross Bjork says Fox determined who could be on the in‑stadium main desk and that Portnoy was not part of that credentialed crew.
- Portnoy says the school pressured Fox, kept him out of the stadium, and forced cancellation of a planned Barstool pregame show in Columbus; the Fox–Barstool partnership continues with his contributions from outside the venue.
