There's A Proposal To Ban Noon Games At Ohio State

  • Ohio Representative Tex Fischer introduced a bill to ban Ohio State football games from starting before 3:30 p.m. ET when facing Top 10 opponents, including the Aug. 31 game against Texas scheduled for noon in Columbus.
  • Fischer proposed the legislation in response to dissatisfaction with the Big Ten and FOX's scheduling of early kickoff times, arguing noon games reduce fan experience and recruit exposure.
  • The bill would impose a $10 million fine on broadcasters or conferences that schedule these early games and aims to restore tradition and improve game-day atmosphere for marquee matchups.
  • Fischer stated via The Columbus Dispatch, noon kickoffs “greatly degrade the fan experience” and deny recruits the chance to enjoy an “absolutely incredible atmosphere.”
  • The bill reflects growing fan frustration over frequent noon games on FOX's Big Noon Kickoff, though it is uncertain whether this legislation will pass or significantly change scheduling practices.
