Media Policies
Interviews - All interviews with coaches, student-athletes and staff members must be coordinated through the Office of Athletic Communications. Immediately following games the locker rooms are closed. Player and coach interviews, however, may be conducted outside locker rooms or on the playing surface after a minimal, 10-minute cooling off period.
Practices - Practices are open to the media whenever necessary, but media must provide advance notice of attendance.
Game Day Coverage and Press Passes - Credentials are available for any media member, but we ask for a 24-hour notice. The Office of Athletic Communications will provide rosters, updated statistics and media guides prior to games and statistical information immediately following.
Technology - At most athletic events, the media have access to wireless internet use as well as phone and fax lines. Photocopiers are also available upon request
Radio - Any visiting radio broadcasts must reserve their seating the week of the scheduled contest.
Photographers - The Office of Athletic Communications photographs home games for most sports. These photographs are intended solely for use by media as well as future publications for the Choctaws. Photographers must apply for credentials and are asked to stay at least 10 feet from the playing surface and shoot from standard shooting positions.
