Fox Sports' big "primetime" window is at noon ET.

And Ohio State keeps getting those early games, dampening excitement.

Big 10 fans love Noon kickoffs like Pac 12 fans liked 7:30pm kickoffs…. which is to say, not very much.

Agreed, and it makes a ton of sense for everyone but the fans.

Yup. Greedy SOBs want to take all the money *and* dictate the game times to the people paying them $1 billion a year.

I mean I get why they are annoyed as fans. The larger issue is that the better teams/larger fan bases get selected for the big network games, but don't get a bigger share for their troubles. Fox gets first choice for more games than CBS/NBC (who essentially sub license), and next year Fox will have less access to the best Big 12 games for Big Noon (ESPN's new b12 contract starts in 2025, with Fox being a secondary rights holder with fewer options).

And in all honestly, I hope there is dissension in the Big Ten, cuz f em.
