Newsstand: Michigan football spring game will be broadcast via FOX
The Michigan Wolverines will finish out spring football with a split-squad scrimmage at the Big House on April 20 at noon, but big news as it pertains to the broadcast was made official on Monday. Instead of the traditional spot on Big Ten Network, the game will now air nationally via FOX with analyst Joel Klatt on the call.
FOX will head to Columbus for Ohio State’s spring game on April 13 before a trip to Ann Arbor one week later to see what head coach Sherrone Moore and company have on display.
“Huge news. On April 13th and on April 20th, we will be televising Ohio State’s and Michigan’s spring football game live on FOX,” Klatt said. “That’s right, we’re airing them on FOX. I’ll be at each of those games. Both of them are going to be at Noon eastern, so Big Noon rolls on. But I cannot wait for these. FOX will be broadcasting the spring games for Ohio State and Michigan. That’s again, April 13th for the Buckeyes, April 20th for the Wolverines, the defending national champions, and we will be, I will be at both. So I cannot wait for that.
“It’s going to be a big April, there’s no doubt, with the draft. With the UFL starting. And now with these marquee programs and their spring games, on big FOX. I cannot wait for that.”

Michigan quote of the day
“Just a fantastic get. I think he’s a great fit. Everything we’ve heard about him is that he’s a great fit. An outstanding person and is a basketball junkie who is going to work like crazy. My buddy who worked with him told me that he’s gonna hit like Bo Schembechler hit the Michigan football program in 1969. Relentless and with a will to win immediately. It sounds like he could very well bring several of his Florida Atlantic players with him. We know that he is gonna hit the portal as well, so very good hire. Was number 1A on the list. They got him. Congratulations to Michigan. This is a huge hire and I think that he’s gonna do a great job here.”
