A year after College GameDay and a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on ABC, Oklahoma and Michigan are getting the Big Noon treatment.
Fox announced Monday that the rematch of last year’s Week 2 game — a 24-13 Oklahoma win in Norman — will kick off at noon ET on Sept. 12 in Ann Arbor, almost certainly meaning Big Noon Kickoff is heading to The Big House.
Fox also announced it will air Ohio State vs. Michigan on Nov. 28 at noon — the rivalry’s now-established home in the Big Noon window — and that it has reclaimed the Big Ten Championship Game after buying the rights back from NBC, which held the game this year as part of its lone title game window in the seven-year deal. According to multiple reports, NBC had no choice but to sell to Fox — between $45 million and $55 million, well short of the $70 million NBC had been seeking from a streamer — because Fox’s majority ownership of the Big Ten Network gives it effective veto power over any sublicensing arrangement. Fox will now air the Big Ten Championship in five of the seven years covered by the current deal.
