2 Media Policies Media policies at the Air Force Academy are designed to provide simple access to game playing participants and coaches of the Air Force football program. Our policies begin by ensuring the football program supports the educational and leadership development of the cadets at the Air Force Academy while providing easy coverage for media members. PRACTICES Air Force Football Practices - The United States Air Force Academy prefers open football practices. Open practices provide the opportunity to easily gather background information and observe the players who are a part of the Air Force Academy football team. Open practice guidelines include refraining from blogging or reporting of injuries or tactics. Video/Photography - Video and photography during practices will be done by media members who are first cleared through the Air Force Academy Media Relations staff. Video and photos will be taken August 1st - August 24th during practice periods 2-4 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Starting August 29th video and photographers cleared through the Air Force Academy Media Relations staff may shoot film during practice periods 2-4 on Mondays and Tuesdays. INTERVIEWS Player/s Availability - Player availability considers each cadet s academic and military/leadership obligations in addition to any needed physical rehabilitation/treatment. Because treatment time may be necessary, players must physically complete the previous practice or game. From August 1st through August 27th Air Force upperclassmen (sophomores, juniors and seniors) will be accessible on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays after practices. Beginning August 29th, Air Force upperclassmen will be accessible on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1:15-1:45 PM and following games. Freshmen who played in the most recent game will be available on Tuesdays from 1:15 to 1:45 PM and following games. During USAFA mid-semester lessons M17 (September 20th) through USAFA T21 (October 4th) and during December final exams Air Force will select three cadets who will only be available from 1:15-1:45 on Mondays and Tuesdays. Air Force players are available for live radio shows following each game. CREDENTIALS General: All credentials must be requested from athletic communications no later than noon (MST) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game - NO EXCEPTIONS. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game. All other credentials will be left at Will Call the day of the game. Non-rights holding radio stations will be limited to one credential. Internet Sites: Only accredited news agency internet sites will be granted game credentials or access to Air Force student-athletes and coaches. All inquiries must be made through athletic communications. Accreditation will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but all sites must have a recognized news affiliation. Photo Credentials: Freelance photography credentials will not be issued unless the photographer has a request on company letterhead from an accredited media outlet. No credentials will be issued to "assistants" - NO EXCEPTIONS. Single-Game Credentials: Single-game credentials will not be issued to any local media outlet that has not regularly covered Air Force or the competing team, unless space allows. Season Credentials: Media outlets must attend media day and regularly cover Air Force (attend weekly media teleconferences and/or practices) to be eligible for a season credential. If media outlets request credentials for staff members (columnists, anchors, etc.) that are not always able to attend and that staff member wishes to attend a particular game, they must call the week of the game to inform the athletic communications staff for seating purposes. A season credential doesn t always reserve media members a seat in the press box. Parking: Media parking passes are issued for football and men s basketball only and are on a space-available basis. Media with season credentials and visiting media will have priority in this case. Scouting Credentials: Professional scouting credentials are issued and seats provided as space allows. These requests must be made in advance on company letterhead. Coach Availability - Coaches will be available to discuss only their position players. s can be reached from August 1st through August 26th on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays from 1:15 1:45. Starting August 30th, assistants can be reached on Tuesdays from 1:15-1:45. Coach Troy Calhoun is available after practices from August 2nd through August 27th on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. From August 29th through the completion of the regular season Coach Calhoun is accessible in a number of ways. They include: Sundays at 6 pm during the season via conference call, Monday after practice, Tuesday mornings on the MWC teleconference, Tuesday afternoon from 12:30-1:00 at the Air Force Academy media room, and following games.
