University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema can remember a time in the not-so-distant past when the Badgers seemed to play all of their games at 11 a.m. Central time. In fact, in Bielema?s first year as head coach in 2006, UW kicked off all of its Big Ten Conference games at that time.
This year, the Badgers have four nationally televised night games, a sign of their growing national reputation. But with that prestige comes some challenges.
