Ohio State doing everything it can to walk back Dave Portnoy ban, deflect the blame

Michigan superfan and founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, is beginning his first season as a part of FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff. For Week 1, that means a trip to Columbus, Ohio, as the No. 3 Buckeyes are set to host No. 1 Texas at the Horseshoe.

Only Portnoy, reportedly, won’t be allowed inside the stadium. Now, it’s just a matter of sorting out who is responsible. Initially, it was reported by Front Office Sports that Ohio State banned Portnoy from entering Ohio Stadium, but Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork is deflecting the blame.
