The "Bronze Fonz" has had a large black-and-white sticker stuck on its back. It was discovered Thursday morning.
The Wisconsin Badgers likely will open the 2011 football season on national TV on Thursday night, Sept. 1, the Las Vegas Sun reported Sunday.
Citing sources, the paper said that "a deal should be reached by the middle of this week for UNLV's 2011 football season opener at Wisconsin to be moved to Thursday, Sept. 1, and aired on ESPN. Both sides and conferences have agreed to the change, with ESPN simply now needing to give the final OK to the deal."
The game currently is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 3 at Camp Randall Stadium.

More Senate ads have aired on television here between Sept. 1 and Oct. 7 than in any other state, according to a report released this week by the Wesleyan Media Project at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
Researchers found that 18,256 Senate ads ran in Wisconsin in those five weeks. That was tops in the nation, ahead of Nevada and its 17,777 ads.
How many ads is that in Wisconsin? Assuming the ads run in the 16 hours between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., there would be an average of one TV ad somewhere in the state every two minutes.
