In the world of college football, there is never a dull moment, especially with how close it is to the season. On Saturday, Ohio State and Texas are set to kickoff in Columbus with FOX's Big Noon Saturday in attendance. On Monday, news broke that Big Noon Kickoff's latest addition might not be allowed on Ohio State's campus. Dave Portnoy, Barstool's CEO, has been reportedly banned from OSU this upcoming weekend. Is this the right move? How did it get to this point? Andy & Ari dive deep into this rabbit hole.
