Summary

Fox Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt sits down with Fox Sports President of Insights and Analytics, Michael Mulvihill to discuss how College Football and NFL games are scheduled between the different TV networks.

The two also discuss the decision making when choosing the Big Noon Saturday Games that were announced last week: Michigan-Ohio State, Texas-Michigan and Alabama-Wisconsin. Mulvihill also details the origins of the concept of Big Noon Saturday and why FOX is adding big-time games on the Friday night schedule this Fall. Learn more about your ad choices.
