The Big Ten released the full conference schedule today with times and TV. You can view the full schedule including non-conference games here. The most impressive thing to me is that there are already 8 conference games slotted for national TV. That number could rise as high as 10 or 11 with the options down the stretch. For comparison’s sake, last year Michigan played 5 conference games on national TV. It’s safe to say that the lights are on this year.
