When Indiana performs Ohio State in two weeks, will probably be the weekend’s marquee recreation. So, why is it being handled like a matinee?
On Monday, Fox introduced the Hoosiers and Buckeyes will play within the “Huge Midday Kickoff” recreation within the midday ET window.
Ohio State followers had been rightfully upset following the announcement, because it means the Buckeyes will play six consecutive midday ET video games to finish the common season.
Fox “Huge Midday Kickoff” shade commentator Joel Klatt defended the choice by explaining Fox is locked into the midday ET timeslot due to the Huge Ten media rights deal, which supplies CBS the three:30 p.m. ET window and NBC the primetime slot.
