Portnoy and Barstool Sports are expected to play a part in FS1's coverage in the near future. Front Office Sports' Ryan Glasspiegel reported that Portnoy is nearing a deal with the channel that would see him join its college football pregame program, "Big Noon Kickoff."

The Barstool Sports pirate ship looks like it might be docking at Fox Sports. The network is “trending” in the direction of a partnership with Dave Portnoy and his media website, though no deal is done, a source confirmed to The Post. Fox Sports declined comment on the matter.

One day after it was reported that Barstool Sports was closing in on a deal with Fox Sports, the former company's founder, Dave Portnoy, has confirmed it's happening. The news first broke on Wednesday. According to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, the deal will see Portnoy appear on FS1's college football pregame show Big Noon Kickoff.
