Earlier today the Big Ten Network (BTN) released its preliminary list of televised evening games for the 2014 season.  The scheduled times of six conference games are now available to the public and the list has games that feature Maryland and Rutgers, the two newest members of the Big Ten.  In fact, the first evening conference game that BTN plans to broadcast is Penn State at Rutgers on Saturday, September 13th, at 8:00 PM Eastern.  The list also includes a major non-conference game between Cincinnati and Ohio State (Sept. 27th at 6:00 PM Eastern).  The list below, courtesy of fbschedules.com, includes all Big Ten evening games (both league and non-league) that BTN and other broadcasters have released to the public.  All scheduled times are subject to change.  For more information, go to btn.com
