Upset that Ohio State’s game against Purdue will be only broadcast on Peacock? An Ohio state senator is, too, and he wants to stop it from happening again.
Bill DeMora, a state senator from Columbus, told the Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he plans to introduce legislation that would prevent public colleges and universities in Ohio from airing sporting events exclusively on paid streaming services.
DeMora told the Dispatch that he believes publicly funded universities like Ohio State should be required to provide a local viewing alternative when games air on paid streaming services.
"I've heard from a lot of folks that are pissed off that the local bar doesn't have the game or they have to spend X amount of money to buy one football game on this Peacock network so they can watch Ohio State," DeMora said.
