So many people tuned in to Fox for Ohio State-Michigan that Big Noon Kickoff had one of its best viewership numbers ever.

"I’ve never been in an NFL Draft board room, but I imagine it’s pretty similar, right?"
"Alright, well they say you can't take 'em with you. Lincoln Riley obviously believes in that."
"Absolutely, absolutely not to Friday night."
A Nebraska game was moved from broadcast Fox to FS2 outside the state, sparking many complaints.
"The choice was so difficult that we just didn't make it."
"Big Noon rolls on."
"It’ll be significant in terms of the amount of national exposure that we have on Friday night on Fox."
The Big Ten is adding four West Coast schools in 2024, and that looks likely to lead to more late kickoffs on some or all of Fox, FS1, and BTN.
According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, ex-Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren gave the 2026 conference championship game to NBC "without full authority to do so." Warren's deal with NBC also created a divide between the network and top schools over late-November night games.
The actual halftime score was 50-35, not 44-30.
Fox will carry four conference championship games during this span, with CBS getting two and NBC getting one.
