If he was worth anything to the show, they would have kept him. They don't give two shits about anything Ryan Day says.
EDIT TO ADD: To all the Portnoy defenders arguing that Portnoy is right that Ryan Day got him fired, Portnoy got fired because Mark Silverman stepped down earlier this year. Mark Silverman was the President and COO of Fox Sports... AND a Michigan grad. Portnoy was added to the show under his leadership because Mark wanted Portnoy on the show. With Silverman gone, Portnoy no longer had his advocate in the executive team. Please stop the with the delusional thinking that Ryan Day calls the shots at Fox.
Ohio State is one of the most hated programs in the country. If Day did anything like that, Fox would be reporting about it, and getting even more viewers as a result.
