The comments come after an Aug. 25 report by Front Office Sports stated that Ohio State was barring Portnoy, a Michigan alumnus, from its stadium for the Texas game. While Portnoy would still participate in the Big Noon Kickoff show, Front Office Sports reported, he would not be in the stadium for the end of the show that leads right into kickoff.

Ohio State denied Tuesday that it banned Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy from Ohio Stadium as a part of Fox Sports’ “Big Noon Kickoff” show on Saturday, as the prominent University of Michigan alumnus called the Buckeyes out for focusing more on him than the Texas Longhorns.

After Ohio State said the decision not to have Dave Portnoy on set inside Ohio Stadium was a Fox decision, the Barstool founder pushed back on that narrative.
