The Big Ten has announced kickoff times and TV plans for three more games this season, to go along with the nine I posted earlier Wednesday.
Indiana will open the season Sept. 2 against Towson in a game to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and be televised by the Big Ten Network. Illinois' home opener against Southern Illinois on Sept. 11 will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and be televised by the Big Ten Network. And Indiana will host Akron on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. ET in a game televised by the Big Ten Network.
So here are the 12 games hosted by Big Ten teams that we know right now:
Sept. 2: Marshall at Ohio State, Big Ten Network 7:30 p.m. ET; Towson at Indiana, Big Ten Network, 7:30 p.m. ET
Sept. 11: Miami at Ohio State, ESPN, 3:40 p.m. ET; Southern Illinois at Illinois, Big Ten Network, 7:30 p.m. ET

Every Big Ten team will play at least one prime-time game this season, and nine schools will host a prime-time game. Ohio State will play four games in prime time, while Indiana, Minnesota and Penn State each will play two each.
In case you forgot, Big Ten policy prohibits home night games after Nov. 1.
