Barstool Sports chief Dave Portnoy is set to make his highly-anticipated TV debut on Fox Sports’ college football programing this weekend.
Portnoy was set to appear on Fox’s ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ for the showdown curtain-raiser between Texas and Ohio State during Week 1 of the college football season on Saturday.
However, the 48-year-old’s partnership with the network has already hit a major stumbling block before the new season has kicked off. Namely, that Portnoy may not even be allowed into the stadium.
Portnoy, who is an outspoken alum of Michigan – Ohio State’s bitter rivals – has reportedly been banned from entering the school’s stadium, The Horseshoe.
While Portnoy is not welcome inside the stadium, Barstool Sports had been barred from campus altogether, according to Front Office Sports.
Portnoy will reportedly still appear on ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ but not for the end of the show inside the stadium.
