<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"News Gothic MT Std",sans-serif">The credential application link for the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship is below. Be advised that we will have approximately 20% of the media capacity that
we’ve had in past years. First priority will go to those who have regularly staffed home games of their local team. Videographers will not be credentialed this year and any live shots must occur outside of the building. All credentialed media will be required
to wear a mask and follow social distance guidelines while in T-Mobile Center. </span>

personnel. We will not be able to provide a Media workroom or dining room. All press conferences will be virtual, coordinated by the institutional communications contacts. A Media Dropbox will be provided with media information, game statistics and photos
provided by the Big 12. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
