The first two University of Wisconsin football games this season -- against Akron Aug. 30 and Marshall Sept. 6 at Camp Randall Stadium -- will begin at 11 a.m. and be televised by the Big Ten Network, the conference announced today.

That means times for six of the Badgers' 12 regular-season games in 2008 are set. UW's non-conference game at Fresno State Sept. 13 will begin at 9:30 p.m.; Big Ten home games against Ohio State on Oct. 4 and Penn State Oct. 11 will start at 7 p.m.; and the Badgers' Homecoming game against Illinois Oct. 25 will kickoff at 11 a.m.  

The Big Ten today released the game times and TV plans for every home non-conference game during the first four weekends of the season. The non-conference schedule will feature 30 home games televised by ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or the Big Ten Network, beginning with eight games on Aug. 30.
