ABC Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Regional Television, and NBC Sports will televise the games.

Nonconference opponents from the Pac-10 (Washington, Arizona State, UCLA and Oregon), Atlantic Coast Conference (North Carolina State and Wake Forest), Big 12 (Missouri and Nebraska), and Big East (Boston College, Rutgers and West Virginia), are confirmed on the early season television schedule. Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue will once again play Notre Dame, with all three games televised nationally.

Eleven intraconference games, including 10 homecoming games, were also tabbed during the early television selection process, including the Nov. 22 Ohio State at Michigan game (ABC Sports), which will be the 100th meeting between the two long-standing rivals.

Selections of games in the first three weeks of the season and homecoming games, and games rescheduled for prime time exposure, are generally confirmed in early summer each year.

An all-time record 74 regular-season and postseason football games were televised during the 2002 season. Additional television games for the 2003 season may be added in the coming weeks.

Check the Big Ten website (www.bigten.org ) for additional football television information, including station clearances for ESPN Plus (local and regional) games.

The balance of the Big Ten football television schedule will be determined on a 12-day or a six-day advance selection process. 2003 BIG TEN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL TELEVISION SCHEDULE (Games Announced as of June 16, 2003; Others TBA) August 30 Missouri vs. ILLINOIS, 11 a.m. CDT, ABC Sports (St. Louis)Miami, O @ IOWA, 11 a.m. CDT, ESPN2 WISCONSIN @ West Virginia, 11 a.m. CDT, ESPN Central Michigan @ MICHIGAN, 12:10 p.m. EDT, ESPN Plus (local) Western Michigan @ MICHIGAN STATE, 3:40 p.m. EDT, ESPN Plus (local) Temple @ PENN STATE, 3:40 p.m. EDT, ESPN Plus (local) Washington @ OHIO STATE, 8 p.m. EDT, ABC Sports
