Many Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines football fans are understandably baffled about their respective teams not being scheduled for evening games over the final three weeks of the regular season. Turns out, there’s a specific rule that’s keeping them out of night time games.

The Ohio State Buckeyes’ final three regular season games are all scheduled for noon EST kickoffs. The Wolverines will host Northwestern at 3:30 EST this Saturday before concluding the regular season at Ohio State on Nov. 30 with a noon EST kickoff.

So, why can’t the NCAA schedule any of the perennial college football juggernauts in the Saturday evening prime time slots? According to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post, it’s because both schools have the same strict rule in their TV Deals with NBC, FOX and CBS:

“In a peculiar arrangement, both Ohio State and Michigan have stipulations in their TV deals with Fox, CBS and NBC that they cannot be assigned to play at night in the final three weeks of the regular season, sources told The Post.

The Buckeyes and Wolverines could choose to accommodate a request to play at night late in the season, but Michigan hasn’t agreed to that in the last two years.”

Glasspiegel noted that the Buckeyes made an exception last year and moved a game against Michigan State to an evening start time. A Michigan rep also told Glasspiegel that the school isn’t interested in doing evening games after daylight savings.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off a 45-0 blowout victory at home over Purdue that moved them to 8-1 on the season. Currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, Ryan Day’s squad will easily qualify for the inaugural 12-team playoff tournament.

As for the Wolverines, it’s been a struggle in year one of the post-Jim Harbaugh Era. Losers of four of their last five, the reigning national champions are 5-5 and must win out over Northwestern and a much stronger Buckeyes team just to finish above .500.

Suspicious NFL Fans Are Accusing Deshaun Watson Of Using A Burner Account From The Locker Room At Halftime To Defend Himself During Browns’ Loss To Raiders

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.

Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.

That was then, and this is now.

It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.

The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.

Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.

Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season

Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.

He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.

He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.

Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
