Media Protocol

Interviews

All interviews with coaches, student athletes and staff members must be arranged through the Office of Sports Information. After games, matches and other athletic events, locker rooms are generally off limits to members of the media. Player and coach interviews, however, may be conducted outside locker room entrances or on the playing surface after a minimal, 10-minute cooling off period for participants. All football interviews will be in the Honaker Room of the Cooper Athletic Center 15 minutes after each contest. The Head Coach will be made available. Please see the Sports Information director for additional requests.

Practices

Practices are generally open to members of the media. Prior notice of attendance is appreciated.
