Ohio’s Bold Move to Ban Noon Buckeyes Games Sparks Controversy—What’s Really Behind the Bill?
This could get very pricey for the state of Ohio because the Big Ten has a media rights deal with FOX worth a reported $8 billion.
It remains to be seen if this bill gets any clear traction or is performative, with a state politician stating how annoying noon games are. However, bills like this are not uncommon. A recent lawmaker in Louisiana introduced a bill only to play LSU games at night, and the state of Arizona has a law that forces its schools to only play at night at the beginning of the season due to the heat.
