Portnoy Notches Win

"This is valid. ESPN killed this is on the grounds that they are frightened of us. Truly, I would have killed it in case I was them, as well. No compelling reason to take care of the organization that is in the end going to eat you. Simply an issue of time till we get a bowl game however," said Portnoy at that point. 

As to Arizona Bowl, Portnoy says it's "actual association" between the game and Barstool, and that his organization will be engaged with it for "the not so distant future." The challenge highlights groups from the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and the Mountain West Conference (MWC).
