Ohio State & Michigan Own FOX and CBS, Rutgers Got 1 Game

Ohio State and Michigan don't just dominate FOX Big Noon Saturday — they own CBS Saturday afternoon too. Professor WildUte analyzed several years of Nielsen data (2019-2025). What I found exposes the biggest monopoly in the Big Ten. THE NUMBERS: - Ohio State: 31 premium window games - Michigan: 25 premium window games - Combined: 56 appearances across the two most valuable time slots in college football - Rutgers: 1 appearance FOX Big Noon Saturday averages 6.1 million viewers. CBS Saturday 3:30 PM averages 5.0 million viewers. These are the two premium windows that drive conference media value — and two schools control both. This isn't about winning games. This is about network real estate. FOX and CBS didn't buy the Big Ten — they bought Ohio State and Michigan's Saturday mornings and afternoons.
