GUIDELINES
Media Credentials - All credential requests should be forwarded to a member of the athletic communication staff. Credentials are limited to professionals working in the print, broadcast, or electronic media, and their issuance is at the discretion of the Office of Athletic Communications. Please make requests for credentials at least two days in advance of game day.
Visiting Radio - Please contact the Saint Vincent Office of Athletic Communications at least two days in advance of the game which you would like to broadcast. In most venues, phone lines and wireless access are available at no charge.
Player/Coach Interviews - All media interview requests must be made through Saint Vincent Office of Athletic Communications. Please be advised that student-athletes will not be asked to miss classes or practices for any reason. If you are requesting interviews after athletics contests, the NCAA mandates a 10-minute 'cooling-off period' after events. Interviews can be conducted with the assistance of Saint Vincent Athletic Communications after the cooling off period has expired. Interviews may be held on the field, court or in the press box. Interviews may not be conducted in the locker rooms.
Photography - Photography is permitted at all Saint Vincent athletics events. Photographers shooting from the playing field level must make the Athletic Communications office aware of their work and must follow all NCAA guidelines concerning in-game athletics photography. Please be advised that photographers assume all risk if entering the playing area of an athletics event.
Image Requests - If you would like to obtain an image seen on the Saint Vincent athletics web site or social media outlets, please contact Saint Vincent Athletic Communications for arrangements. Many of the athletics images taken at home events can be viewed and downloaded free of charge in Saint Vincent's online photo gallery.
BEARCATS - When referencing Saint Vincent athletics teams, please refer to all teams as the Bearcats. It is unacceptable to use 'Lady Bearcats' for female teams.
LIVE STATS
Live statistics will be provided by Saint Vincent Athletic Communications for most home games, when possible. Opposing sports information offices looking for Saint Vincent StatCrew rosters, should contact a member of the athletic communications office (see contact info above). Most live stat productions of home Saint Vincent events can be viewed on the team's schedule. A complete list of links for live coverage can be found at

LIVE VIDEO/AUDIO
The Saint Vincent Athletic Communications Office provides live video and/or audio services to many of its varsity programs when weather and scheduling conflicts do not arise. Visit each team's respective schedule to view individual games that will have broadcasts. AÂ
composite schedule of live coverage is also available on the athletics home page. Additionally, video and audio services can be found on the
Presidents' Athletic Conference Digital Network portal.  All video and audio broadcasts are run by the athletic communications staff with help from student assistants.
