After receiving the visitor’s pass, the media member will be directed to either Derricke Brown, Michelle Erickson, Rich Davi, or a member of the coaching staff for their interview.
Should the member of the media organization be on campus after school hours, they must check in with Derricke Brown, Michelle Erickson, Rich Davi, or a member of the coaching staff for their interview.
A member of the Athletic Department or coaching staff will coordinate all player interviews and will be coordinated either before or after practice.
Team locker rooms are off limits to media representatives at all times.
