NCAA. Deion Sanders’ haughty remarks about why the NFL is concerned that he could cause Shedeur Sanders to get into trouble
NCAA. Arch Manning is predicted to surpass his uncle Peyton Manning as the number one quarterback selected in the upcoming NFL Draft.
The Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes’ 2025 college football season opening has sparked criticism because of its early kickoff time. FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” will feature the game, which is set for August 30 in Columbus at 11:00 CT.
This game is a replay of Ohio State’s 28-14 victory over Texas in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal the previous season. The choice to play the game at such an early hour has been criticised by both fans and analysts, despite the high stakes and the debut of new quarterbacks, Arch Manning for Texas and Julian Sayin for Ohio State.
The scheduling decision causes criticism.
Supporters have vented their frustration on social media, with some blaming Texas for avoiding a primetime matchup. “CANCEL THE TEXAS GAME,” one fan tweeted. There is absolutely no advantage to making the playoffs.

Some questioned why such a well-known game was scheduled during a period when attendance would be lower.
The risk-reward of starting the season against a top-tier opponent was also questioned by former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer. “Next year, you’re opening with Texas. “Why?” Meyer enquired. “Aside from that, it’s fantastic for the game, the players, and the fans. You’re judged on one thing, though, and it’s not good. At the conclusion of the season, you are evaluated.
The controversy over scheduling choices is still generating debate among fans and observers as both teams get ready for this early-season matchup.
