YouTube TV subscribers will be able to watch Ohio State vs. Texas on Saturday.
YouTube TV announced Wednesday that it had reached a short-term contract extension with FOX, allowing subscribers to continue watching FOX and its affiliated networks –including FS1, FS2 and Big Ten Network – as the parties negotiate a new carriage agreement.
Update: Weve reached a short-term extension with Fox to prevent disruption to our subscribers while we work on a new agreement. We're committed to advocating on behalf of our members and will keep you posted on our progress. https://t.co/EM5jhU9v5l https://t.co/3haWhOYKZT

YouTube TV had threatened to remove FOX and its affiliated networks from its service if it did not reach a new agreement by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
FOX has already been in the crosshairs of many Ohio State fans this offseason due to its insistence on airing the Buckeyes’ best games – including Saturday’s game against Texas and likely including Ohio State’s other marquee home game against Penn State – at noon. By striking a short-term contract extension with YouTube TV, FOX avoided giving Buckeye fans – and college football fans throughout the country – another reason to be upset with the network.
