Rap icon set to perform at Fox Big Noon Kickoff before Wisconsin vs. Alabama on Saturday

Rap icon Offset will perform live on Fox Big Noon Kickoff ahead of Wisconsin’s Week 3 contest against Alabama on Saturday.

Slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. ET, the pregame show will already feature several legends including former Alabama running back Mark Ingram II, USC quarterback Matt Leinart, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.

Offset, a member of the famous hip-hop group Migos, will now join the fold before what is easily Wisconsin’s most significant game of the 2024 season thus far.

Even though ESPN will not send its College GameDay crew to Madison this weekend, the Badgers will certainly receive enough national attention for the game, and hopefully afterward as well.

Sports Business Journal notes that Big Noon Kickoff averaged over one million viewers through the first 10 weeks of the 2023 season. Given conference realignment and the depth in prolific players in college football, this number will surely rise as the 2024 slate pans out.

The network’s last national visit to Wisconsin was back in Oct. 2021 when the Badgers lost to the Michigan Wolverines 38-17. Wisconsin has received six Big Noon Kickoff on-site appearances and is 0-5 in its previous Big Noon matches since its inception in 2019.

Despite posting a 2-0 mark to start the season, Wisconsin’s offense has appeared stagnant. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has flashed some skill, but he will need to discover some consistency in the pass game to remain in arms reach of the Crimson Tide at Camp Randall.
