College football is back this week with the kickoff of “zero week” but do Buckeyes fans have zero interest in the slate of 11 games? We talk about that and more in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

There is a Big Ten conference game with Nebraska and Northwestern playing on the Emerald Isle with a game in Dublin, but will there be enough interest from fans stateside who don’t have a rooting interest in either team?

What about another game involving a Big Ten team with Illinois hosting Wyoming. There was plenty of buzz about Bret Bielema taking over as head coach of the Illini but how much is anyone talking about that program right now and how damaging could a week zero loss be?

And of course we are talking about the Buckeyes. Earlier today we had a chance to talk to Ryan Day and Jim Knowles. How healthy is this team going into the week one game against Notre Dame? How much of the defense is installed? Who are a few players that are standing out?

All of that and so much more as the season is less than two weeks away and anticipation is building at a monumental pace.

In this edition of the Big Me Kickoff we are talking about the recently released AP Poll and should anything really be read into that at this point or if it is just more noise to start the season? Who has the Buckeyes ranked too low and does that really matter?

One thing that was not low was the dollar figure that the Big Ten's television partners came to the table with as the B1G just signed a historic deal. While we don't know every single detail about it, we do know that FOX, NBC and CBS will all be very much in the Big Ten business starting in 2023.

And what kind of changes could be in the world of college athletics, at least in the Big Ten. With comments from both commissioner Kevin Warren and Ohio State AD Gene Smith, what could be different in the near term?

All of that and more.

The Big Ten just announced its new TV deal, which will be worth more than a billion dollars each year. That new contract will go into effect next year, and mean some massive changes for the Buckeyes, the league, and the sport of college football on the whole.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the big impacts the new deal will have.

- Why is it a big deal to have FOX, CBS, and NBC all televising games every weekend?

- What will it mean for the league to end its partnership with ABC and ESPN?

- With some Big Ten games shifting to the streaming platform Peacock, will it be harder to watch some Buckeye games?

- Why the Big Ten is doing away with divisions and what we do (and don't) know about what's next.

- A massive change coming to the way the Big Ten schedules its league games, and why it's long overdue.
