Media Covering A&T Guidelines

[Rhodes, Zach]

To media visiting the Ferrell Center during the 2021 Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling season:

This season’s Ferrell Center media operations will be altered in conjunction with other schools in order to provide a safe environment while covering Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling.

A Box link containing important media materials is available to you at http://baylorbea.rs/3uvfkbk. Please bookmark this link to save as it will be updated weekly with meet notes as well as after a meet with pictures (please credit Baylor Athletics) video highlights and the full post-meet press conference.
