Overview

• Ohio State is barring Barstool Sports from campus and preventing founder Dave Portnoy from entering Ohio Stadium for Saturday’s No. 1 Texas vs. No. 3 Ohio State game, according to Front Office Sports.
• Portnoy will still appear on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff but will not participate in the show’s closing segments inside the stadium, per the report.
• A source told Front Office Sports that Fox anticipated access issues in Columbus and had not planned for Portnoy to enter the venue.
• The Barstool College Football Show is shifting from previously outlined on-site plans tied to the Fox partnership, according to the reporting.
• Ohio State and Fox did not provide on-the-record confirmation, as the Michigan-alum media figure posted a fake-mustache photo on X and Columbus hosts said he is “not welcome” in The Horseshoe.
