We know Fox gets the first pick and will take OSU vs Michigan. We also know espn gave up rights to a big ten game for Joe buck. We assumed Fox would take OSU vs ND and make it a nooner.
Per John Ourand, that’s not the deal:
“This season, Fox will have the rights to carry an opening week game in prime time — an opportunity that the network believes will bring in millions of extra ad sales dollars for the network. That game, in a previously unplanned window, will be the Sept. 1 Penn State- Purdue tilt, scheduled for a Thursday night.”
