According to a report from Front Office Sports, Fox Sports is nearing an expansive deal with Barstool Sports and founder Dave Portnoy that would include him appearing on the network's Big Noon Kickoff and include Barstool content being featured on FS1.
The deal is not yet finalized, and Portnoy posted on X that it is nothing more than rumors at this point:
These are nothing more than rumors at this point. But all the crying from Columbus is making me feel like it’s Thanksgiving Day weekend again and Michigan is pounding a hapless Buckeye team into the mud for the billionth straight year.
