“WHAT A CLUSTER!” Stewart Mandel, Andrew Marchand and Scott Dochterman of The Athletic released an article titled, “What Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports reveal about Fox and the Big Ten’s relationship,” in which the veteran journalists broke down how the controversial media personality became a regular on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff.

The entire article can be summarized in one paragraph and one quote.

Barstool’s brand is one thing. Portnoy’s Michigan fandom could also be seen as a conflict of interest by Ohio State. Last year, he claimed to have facilitated five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood’s recruiting flip from LSU to Michigan. Earlier this month he tweeted at five-star Ohio State receiver commit Chris Henry Jr. about Oracle, the company founded by Larry Ellison, who, along with his wife, Jolin, funded Underwood’s name, image and likeness deal.
“What a cluster!” said a high-ranking Power 4 administrator. “Why would Fox do that to their partner? Especially a school that might be their No. 1 property in college sports. Makes no sense!”
That’s what we’ve been saying all along!
