Skull Session: Ross Bjork Calls Fox “A Great Partner” to Ohio State, Ryan Day Relishes His Time With Nick Saban at the Golden Bear Pro-Am
Ross Bjork wants to see "more balance and a little flexibility" in the next Big Ten TV contract, and Ryan Day relishes his time with Nick Saban at the Golden Bear Pro-Am.
"THEY'RE A GREAT PARTNER." Ohio State’s 2025 season opener with Texas will kick off at noon.

Bjork said he “can’t blame Texas” for their lack of cooperation, but still believes Ohio State fans deserved a night game for the premier matchup. Rather than aim his arrows at Mulvhill or Del Conte, Bjork pointed at the TV contract the Big Ten signed with Fox, CBS and NBC in 2022 and explained that the “lack of flexibility” made moving the kickoff to another time almost impossible.
“They’re a great partner,” Bjork said of Fox. “They tried (to move the game). They have the first pick each week. There was no way they were not going to choose the Ohio State-Texas game. Here’s the bottom line: The lack of flexibility that’s built into the current TV contracts between Fox, CBS and NBC did not allow this game to be moved to another window.”
He later continued: “We get the way the contracts are written. All we were hoping for is a little more balance and a little flexibility, and that’s not possible given the current makeup of these TV contracts.”

You know…
I blamed Mulvhill (i.e. Fox Sports).
I blamed Del Conte (i.e. Texas AD).
I blamed Mulvhill again — kind of.
But I once was blind, and now I see.
If all of this has to do with contracts and legal jargon, this is all Kevin Warren’s fault — and of course it’s all Kevin Warren’s fault!
Just sayin': Personally, I'm very happy it is a noon game.....

20 years? WTF. I still have my AJ Hawk 47 jersey. It's pristine. I had no idea it's from 20 years ago.
That was such a tough loss. AJ and Carpenter beat the shit out of Young, and he kept going. If not for $500.00 Smith would have pulled the game out for us. Even with #80 on the field...

Too soon old, too late smart
Well, we fans on the Left Coast can awaken, take a walk with the wife, have breakfast, and then pop some corn for a 9:00am PST start. Little early to start drinking, but by the time the Buckeyes have won the game, the beers (or other adult beverages) are ready to be consumed. Then there's still half a day to do those hard to get to chores.
