Media Policies:
Media coverage polices will mirror regular-season standards. Season credentials – both football and all-sports – will be accepted for sideline, press box and media entrance access. If you do not have a credential, Brent Ingram and Josie Hutton will be on site with single-event credentials.

Media are permitted to shoot photo and video of the entire event, including the Youth Skills Challenge and the open practice. We ask that all media – as in regular-season standards – enter through the tunnel on the far side of the press box end of the field. Media can shoot from the non-team box areas on the sideline.

The Press Box, and the Photo Work Room, will be available as a work space for media during the event.

Following the practice, Baylor will hold its final spring media session, featuring Coach Dave Aranda, Josh Cameron, Kyler Jordan and Carl Williams IV. That will be scrum style in the end zone. A mic stand will be provided.
