Upset that Ohio State’s game against Purdue will be only broadcast on Peacock? An Ohio state senator is, too, and he wants to stop it from happening again.on Friday that he plans to introduce legislation that would prevent public colleges and universities in Ohio from airing sporting events exclusively on paid streaming services.

"I've heard from a lot of folks that are pissed off that the local bar doesn't have the game or they have to spend X amount of money to buy one football game on this Peacock network so they can watch Ohio State," DeMora said. While Saturday’s game against Purdue will be the first Ohio State football game to air exclusively on a streaming platform, and the first since 1997 that will not be broadcast live on linear television, many other Ohio State sporting events and sporting events for other Ohio universities have already been broadcast exclusively on paid streaming services if they are broadcast at all.
