Ohio State Has Reportedly Banned Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy From Their Stadium During His First Week On ‘Big Noon Kickoff’

Why are they such babies? (To be clear, I wanted to use another word there, but I have to censor myself).

Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an Ohio State hater, but I would also argue it’s for good reason. Their fanbase is insufferable (the whole “THE” Ohio State thing just screams inflated sense of self-worth), and their fans prove time and time again that they’re as soft as toilet paper. Remember just last year when a lawmaker tried to make flag planting a FELONY after they got their feelings hurt when Michigan planted a flag in their stadium?

Well as if there isn’t enough to mock them for, now they’ve reportedly banned a television analyst from their stadium because he’s a Michigan fan.

Like I said, soft as baby sh*t.

Of course it’s not just any analyst. The controversial Michigan fan in question is Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder and CEO of Barstool Sports, which recently signed a partnership with Fox Sports that will see Portnoy as a regular contributed on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff.

And where is Big Noon Kickoff this Saturday during week one of college football? At Ohio State for the school’s massive opening week matchup against the Texas Longhorns.

According to Front Office Sports, Portnoy will still appear on Big Noon Kickoff, but will not appear on the end of the show that takes place inside the stadium. And The Barstool College Football Show, which will be on the road for “select” dates this fall, will reportedly no longer be taking place at Ohio State as previously planned. (Don’t they have buildings on campus named after one of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friends? Just asking questions here…)

A source reportedly told Front Office Sports that Fox had anticipated having problems with Portnoy at Ohio State, and hadn’t planned on having him enter the stadium anyway.

The outspoken Michigan grad is well known for his trolling of the Buckeyes and head coach Ryan Day – and honestly, after Michigan has won their last three matchups, it seems like he’s earned the right to talk a little smack…

For his part, Portnoy didn’t seem to be too bothered by the announcement that he wouldn’t be able to enter the Horseshoe. After the news was posted, Portnoy responded with a photo of him wearing a fake mustache, a disguise that he used to get into Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta back in 2019 after having been banned from the event by the NFL.

You may remember that Portnoy was arrested during the game after NFL security caught onto what seemed like a foolproof disguise:

I’m guessing that “El Pres” won’t try sneaking into Ohio Stadium since he’ll be working for Fox Sports during the game, although it would be hilarious to see him go limp as Ohio State security tried to drag him out of the game in his Michigan gear.

But he also has another Michigan fan in his corner who offered him tickets since he won’t be able to get in for work.

Conor Stallions, the former Wolverines grad assistant at the center of the sign stealing scandal, responded to Portnoy asking if he needed help getting into the game:

I’m sure Fox knew what they were signing up for when they partnered with Portnoy. And if it was attention they were hoping for, he’s sure to deliver – one way or the other.The post Ohio State Has Reportedly Banned Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy From Their Stadium During His First Week On ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
