Dave Portnoy's future as part of Fox's college football coverage appears to be in doubt after a cryptic post from the Barstool Sports founder late on Saturday night.
Portnoy entered into a content deal with Fox in July, revealing that he would be appearing on the broadcaster's popular college football show 'Big Noon Kickoff' every week.
But two weeks into the college season it already appears that something has happened to damage that agreement although late Saturday, Portnoy wasn't prepared to say what.
He posted on his X account: 'Breaking news. I will not be on Big Noon Kickoff on Fox next week. So no #askdave segment for next week. No further questions at this time.'
Moments earlier, a dejected Portnoy filmed his verdict on his Michigan Wolverines team losing 13-24 to Oklahoma Sooners.
At the end of that video, he alluded to some tension with Fox but again in an unclear manner, saying: 'It was just a bad night to be a Michigan Wolverine, to be me.
'I got my Big Noon Kickoff guys, who I've know for 15 minutes, are now texting me just... and I guess when you're gonna f***ing beat that drum you've got to be there to take that medicine.'
Fox Sports have been contacted by Daily Mail for comment.
Speaking in August about the deal, Portnoy was deeply enthusiastic about the agreement. On his 'Unnamed Show' podcast last month, he said: 'This has the potential to be really good for both parties.
'They (Fox) want our audience, they know what audience we have... and it's a wide-ranging relationship.'
