Overview

• Multiple outlets report the university is barring Barstool Sports from campus and Portnoy from entering Ohio Stadium for Saturday’s No. 1 Texas vs. No. 3 Ohio State game.
• Portnoy is still slated to appear on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff but not for the show’s closing segments inside the venue, according to Front Office Sports.
• Sources said Fox anticipated potential access issues with Ohio State and originally did not plan for Portnoy to enter the stadium.
• The Barstool College Football Show’s planned lead-in around Big Noon was changed, per reporting; Fox declined comment and Ohio State did not immediately respond to inquiries.
• Portnoy posted a photo in disguise on X after the reports circulated, and former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions replied, “You need tickets?”
