Rep. Tex Fischer (R-Boardman) has penned a bill regarding the start times of college football games.
The proposed bill states that no college football games played in Ohio should start before 3:30 p.m. when “one competing team is the football team of a state university” or when “both competing teams are ranked among the top ten teams in the Associated Press poll.”

Fischer reposted a post on X, formerly Twitter, featuring the proposed bill.
“A few weeks ago, I said it would be a crime for FOX to put Ohio State vs Texas at noon. Promises made, promises kept,” Fischer wrote.
The proposed bill includes an exception for games between two teams involved in a “college football tradition,” such as the annual Ohio State-Michigan game.
