Dave Portnoy is reportedly nearing an ‘expansive’ deal with Fox Sports which would see the network add him to its college football pregame show and also air Barstool Sports content.
As reported by Front Office Sports, talks are ongoing for Michigan alum Portnoy to join ‘Big Noon Kickoff.’
Earlier this week, Fox Sports cut three shows, including the Joy Taylor-hosted ‘Speak’ and Emmanuel Acho’s ‘The Facility.’
And the company reportedly looks set to fill some of its airtime with other top Barstool personalities.
The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand also named Dan ‘Big Cat’ Katz as one of the Barstool personalities who would appear on the channel.
The deal has reportedly yet to be finalized, and Portnoy referred to them as ‘rumors’ on his X account.

‘These are nothing more than rumors at this point. But all the crying from Columbus is making me feel like it’s Thanksgiving Day weekend again and Michigan is pounding a hapless Buckeye team into the mud for the billionth straight year,’ he wrote.
If the deal is finalized, Portnoy would join former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer on ‘Kickoff’, as well as Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Mark Ingram, Chris Fallica, and host Rob Stone.
