Some major noise was made in the sports media world this weekend and it definitely involves Joe Buck going to ESPN from FOX — but it also might involve the 2022 season opener between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Andrew Marchand of the New York Post first reported the news about Buck leaving FOX for ESPN, but in his story, he also stated that the deal involves FOX getting an extra “pick first” for a Big 10 football game this upcoming season. The networks share rights to Big 10 games — and the season opener in Columbus seems ripe for the taking if this was the case.
