Fox Sports Closing In On Massive Deal With Barstool Sports

Fox Sports is making a bunch of changes to its programming ahead of football season.

It was reported this week that Fox Sports is canceling a few daytime shows, including "The Facility" and "Speak." That puts popular analysts such as Emmanuel Acho, Keyshawn Johnson and LeSean McCoy in limbo. Joy Taylor, meanwhile, is not expected to have her contract renewed. 

That's not the only major report involving Fox Sports to come out this week. 

According to Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, Fox Sports is working on a deal that'll change its coverage for "Big Noon." If this deal gets finalized, Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports would make appearances on the popular college football show. 

"The network is nearing an expansive deal with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy that would include him appearing on its college football pregame show. The deal would also involve Barstool content being featured on FS1, sources told Front Office Sports," Glasspiegel wrote. "The deal has not been finalized, and a Fox Sports spokesperson declined to comment."

Portnoy is one of the most polarizing personalities in sports, so this would be quite the gamble for Fox Sports.
