Television series
Fox College Football
(or
Fox CFB
, for short, and
Big Noon Saturday
, for flagship games airing at 12 p.m. ET on Saturdays) is the branding used for broadcasts of
NCAA Division I FBS
college football
games produced by
Fox Sports
, and broadcast primarily by
Fox
,
FS1
, and
FS2
.
Initial college football broadcasts on the Fox network were limited to selected
bowl games
, beginning with the
Cotton Bowl Classic
from 1999 to 2014. From 2007 to 2010, Fox broadcast the
Bowl Championship Series
(excluding games played at the
Rose Bowl stadium
, whose rights were held by
ABC
under a separate agreement), branded as the
BCS on Fox.
In 2012, Fox began to air a regular schedule of Saturday college football games during the regular season. Fox primarily airs coverage of the
Big Ten
,
Big 12
, and
Pac-12
, and holds rights to the
Big Ten
and
Pac-12
championship games (with the latter alternating yearly with ESPN/ABC). Since 2020, Fox has aired games from the
Mountain West Conference
(including
Boise State home games
, and the
Mountain West championship game
). Fox also holds rights to the
Holiday Bowl
.
Coverage history
[
edit
]
FSN coverage (1996?2019)
[
edit
]
In order to better compete with national networks like
ESPN
, since its inception the
Fox Sports Networks
(FSN) has carried college football games from the
then Pac-10 conference
and
Big 12 conference
. These telecasts were distributed to individual Fox Sports Networks and other affiliates. In 2011 FSN added a package of
Conference USA
football games.
[1]
Many of these games were aired exclusively, aired as a simulcast, or aired on tape delay on
Fox College Sports
.
Pac-12 games moved from FSN to Fox,
FX
and eventually
FS1
in 2012.
[2]
The C-USA left Fox Sports entirely in 2016.
[3]
FSN affiliates continued to largely hold the third-tier rights to many Big 12 teams until 2020, when
ESPN+
acquired the tier 3 media rights to all but two of the conference's members (with the only holdouts being the
Oklahoma Sooners
, who maintained their contract with
Fox Sports Oklahoma
, and the
Texas Longhorns
, who have a long-term deal with ESPN and
IMG College
to operate its
Longhorn Network
).
[4]
[5]
After the sale of FSN to
Sinclair Broadcast Group
as part of Disney's acquisition of
21st Century Fox
, the networks sub-licensed a package of
Conference USA
games from new sister network
Stadium
.
[6]
The
Atlantic Coast Conference
's
syndication package
for regional sports networks?which was produced by
Raycom Sports
?continued to primarily be carried by the networks (now
Bally Sports
) until 2023, when Bally dropped them amid its
parent company's
bankruptcy,
[7]
and Raycom Sports sold the rights to
The CW
.
[8]
[9]
Cotton Bowl Classic (1998?2013)
[
edit
]
The Fox network acquired its first college football telecast in 1998, when it obtained the broadcast rights to the annual
Cotton Bowl Classic
held each January on (eventually, the day after)
New Year's Day
; the
first game
to be shown on the network as part of the deal was held on January 1, 1999. Fox renewed its contract to carry the game in 2010, in a four-year agreement that ran through the 2013 NCAA college football season.
Fox lost the rights to the Cotton Bowl to
ESPN
for the 2015 edition, as the cable network holds the television contract to all six bowl games that encompass the
College Football Playoff
system under a twelve-year deal worth over
$
7.3 billion. The Cotton Bowl was the only game among the six that was not already broadcast by ESPN.
[10]
[11]
Bowl Championship Series, launch of Big Ten Network (2006?2009)
[
edit
]
From the
2006
through the
2009 seasons
, Fox held the broadcast rights to most of the games comprising the
Bowl Championship Series
(BCS) ? including the
Sugar Bowl
, the
Fiesta Bowl
, the
Orange Bowl
, and the newly-established
BCS Championship Game
. Fox paid close to $20 million per game for the rights to televise the BCS games.
[12]
The network's contract with the BCS excluded any event in the series that was held at the
Rose Bowl stadium
, such as the
Rose Bowl Game
and the
2010 BCS National Championship Game
, as
ABC
already had a separate arrangement with the
Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association
to serve as the broadcaster for the games.
[13]
Fox promoted the BCS bowl games with the blanket title
Bowl Bash
.
[14]
ESPN, which is majority owned by ABC's corporate parent
The Walt Disney Company
and serves as the producer for all of ABC's sports coverage, would displace Fox outright as the broadcaster of the BCS beginning in the 2010?11 season.
[15]
This left the Fox network with only the Cotton Bowl Classic as the sole college football game, to which it held the television rights until the 2013?14 season.
Expansion of national regular season coverage, Big Ten contract (2011?2019)
[
edit
]
Beginning with the
2011 season
, sister cable channel
FX
began airing a "game of the week" on Saturdays featuring matchups from the
Big 12
,
Conference USA
, and
Pac-12
.
[16]
The Fox network also obtained the rights to air the Big Ten Conference's new
football championship game
beginning that season and running through 2016, as part of Fox Sports' partnership with the conference on the
Big Ten Network
.
[17]
Fox also acquired bi-yearly rights to the inaugural
Pac-12 Football Championship Game
, alternating with ESPN/ABC.
[18]
Beginning with the
2012 season
, Fox added regular season games on Saturdays to its lineup; it broadcast eight afternoon games and twelve nighttime games throughout the season, with the latter telecasts airing as part of a new strategy by the network to carry more sports programming on Saturday nights during prime time.
FS1
replaced FX's coverage upon its launch in August 2013, though some overflow coverage has aired on FX occasionally when warranted; since 2017, overflow coverage has been carried FS2, and before that on
Fox Business Network
, which usually carries
paid programming
on Saturday afternoons of little consequence to pre-emption.
[19]
Fox's coverage of the
2015 season
opened with a game on FS1 featuring the
Michigan Wolverines
at the
Utah Utes
. As the first game featuring new head coach
Jim Harbaugh
, the season premiere was promoted with a touring "HarBus"?decorated with a sweater and khakis in imitation of Harbaugh's on-field wardrobe?travelling to Salt Lake City for the game, accompanied by a group of "HarBros" dressed like Harbaugh. The tour concluded at Salt Lake City's
Grand America Hotel
for game day; the bus itself was barred from entering the University of Utah's campus.
[20]
[21]
On July 12, 2016, the
San Francisco 49ers
announced that they had taken over the Foster Farms Bowl (now known as the
Redbox Bowl
), and had reached a four-year deal to move the game to Fox and Fox Deportes beginning in 2016.
[22]
It was also reported by
Sports Business Journal
that Fox was pursuing a share of the Big Ten's primary football rights.
[23]
Fox began streaming select college football games in
360-degree video
for the 2016 season.
[24]
[25]
The following year, FS1 also acquired rights to the
Holiday Bowl
, ending a long-standing relationship between the game and ESPN.
[26]
On July 24, 2017, the
Big Ten Conference
announced that Fox and ESPN had acquired rights to its games under a six-year deal beginning in the
2017 season
. The contract also includes an extension of Fox's contract to operate Big Ten Network through 2032.
[27]
The deal gives Fox the first choice of games on most weeks, including marquee games such as the
Michigan/Ohio State game
?which had been a fixture of ABC's college football schedule for over a half-decade. The game will remain in its traditional noon slot on the last day of the Big Ten's regular season.
[28]
[29]
Fox promoted its addition of Big Ten football with promotional campaigns focusing on each team; a
Children of the Corn
-themed commercial focusing on the
Nebraska Cornhuskers
was pulled after complaints by the school.
[30]
Big Noon Saturday
, Mountain West contract, Big Ten renewal (2019?present)
[
edit
]
Prior to the
2019 season
, Fox lost its rights to future Big 12 championship games to ESPN as part of an expansion of its rights to the conference. Fox declined to bid on the 2019, 2021, and 2023 games.
[31]
In the 2019 season, Fox introduced a new flagship Noon ET window known as
Big Noon Saturday.
The games are accompanied by a pre-game show,
Big Noon Kickoff
.
[32]
[33]
[34]
A Fox executive stated that the network's highest-rated games were often those with a Noon kickoff, and that the network also wanted to avoid competition from other highly viewed windows such as the
SEC on CBS
and ABC's
Saturday Night Football
.
[35]
The new emphasis on early games proved successful: in the first weeks of the 2019 season, Fox had the highest-rated game in the timeslot on multiple occasions. This pattern continued into subsequent seasons, with
Big Noon Saturday
overtaking the
SEC on CBS
as having the highest average viewership in the 2021 season, and the Michigan/Ohio State game (which saw Michigan end an eight-game losing streak in the rivalry) being the highest-rated regular-season game of the 2021 season, and most-watched regular-season game since the
Alabama?LSU
game in 2019.
[36]
[35]
Due to the early kickoff times, the package has faced criticism for having undue impacts on teams not based in the
Eastern Time Zone
(ET), including from University of Oklahoma Athletics Director
Joe Castiglione
(who felt that a Noon ET kickoff for a 2021 game against Nebraska, marking the 50th anniversary of their 1971
"Game of the Century"
, would diminish its profile), and Stanford head coach
David Shaw
(who, in particular, criticized Fox Sports for scheduling noon kickoffs involving visiting Pac-12 teams).
[37]
[38]
In August 2021, University of Oklahoma president Joe Harroz cited criticism of
Big Noon Saturday
when discussing the Sooners' proposed move to the
SEC
, arguing that the Big 12 conference would be "last in line" in negotiating new media deals, and that "our fans talk about that. It also matters to student-athletes. When those who go before you, in terms of negotiations for 2025 and beyond, if those premiere slots are already taken up, it impacts things in a material way. It translates into disadvantages in recruiting the top talent, disadvantages for our student-athletes and a detriment to the fan experience."
[39]
On January 9, 2020, the
Mountain West Conference
announced that its next top-tier basketball and football contracts would be split between
CBS Sports
and Fox Sports under a six-year deal, with Fox replacing ESPN. Fox will hold rights to 23 games per-season, including the conference championship and all
Boise State
home games (since 2012, as part of concessions to remain in the conference, the Mountain West has allowed Boise State's home games to be sold as a separate package from the remainder of its media rights).
CBS Sports Network
will remain the main broadcaster for the conference outside of these games.
[40]
[41]
[42]
On August 18, 2022, Fox renewed its rights to the Big Ten under a seven-year deal beginning in the 2023 season. Under the new contract, Fox,
CBS
, and
NBC
will hold rights to Noon, 3:30 p.m. ET, and prime time games respectively. There will be a larger number of games on the Fox broadcast network, and an option to air "premier" Big Ten games in other timeslots after
Oregon
,
USC
,
UCLA
, and
Washington
move to the conference in 2024. Fox will air four Big Ten championship games in odd-numbered years over the length of the contract.
[43]
[44]
In the 2022 season, ESPN sub-licensed one additional Big Ten football game to Fox, as compensation to release
Joe Buck
from his contract with the network to join ESPN and
Monday Night Football
.
[45]
In the 2023 season, Fox gained additional access to place microphones on players and coaches in Big Ten and Big 12 games. After having previously shared its in-game presentation with the
NFL on Fox
,
Fox College Football
also adopted a dedicated graphics package for its broadcasts, although the revamp faced criticism from viewers on social media.
[46]
[47]
[48]
For the 2024 season, with the departure of
WWE SmackDown
from the Fox schedule, Fox will introduce an additional weekly Friday primetime window for games.
[49]
Additionally, on March 25, 2024, Fox announced that Ohio State and Michigan's
spring games
would air on the network, marking the first time a spring game has aired on over-the-air television.
