With more friction over kickoff times, is Ohio State-Big Ten relationship sustainable?

Tensions are rising in Columbus as Ohio State faces a schedule dominated by early-day broadcasts. The Buckeyes will play their 33rd game in the Big Noon Saturday window since its inception, leaving the program without a single home night game for the first time since 2018.

Athletic director Ross Bjork has publicly advocated for more evening contests, while some state officials have even explored legislative options to address the scheduling imbalance. Despite this friction, the university remains tied to long-term media rights agreements that extend through 2036, and the school maintains its own internal policy against scheduling night games after early November.
