Interview Policy
Athletes are available for interviews in person and over the phone during the week. All interviews must be cleared through the sports information office or the head coach of the particular sport. The best time to interview athletes is before or after practices. After games, players will be available after the standard 10 minute cooling off period or the postgame team meeting with the coach. Please use proper discretion when interviewing players and coaches. The sports information staff will assist in tracking down individuals for interviews if necessary.
