Sports Information Office
Mercer University welcomes and encourages your interest in Mercer
athletics. We will make every effort to service your needs in
covering the Bears. The Sports Information Office maintains
information on all current student-athletes and athletics
department staff, as well as historical data on former athletes.
The Sports Information Office is located in Suite 135 on the first
floor of the University Center.
Credential Requests
The Sports Information Office will issue credentials to working
press only. Credentials for home basketball games can be obtained
by e-mailing or calling the Sports Information Office. All
credential requests should be made in at least 24 hours in advance
of the scheduled contest.
Visiting Radio Personnel
Visiting radio personnel desiring to broadcast athletics events
are encouraged to contact the appropriate staff member in MU's
Sports Information Office at the earliest possible date to request
permission to broadcast.
Media Workroom
A media workroom, located in Suite 134, adjacent to the Sports
Information Offices, will be available for use by media before and
after games.
Media Services
Games notes, updated team and individual statistics, information
on upcoming games, Atlantic Sun Conference standings and the latest
information - when applicable - will usually be available two days
prior to each game throughout the season. These items, as well as
available opponent materials, can be picked up before every game at
the appropriate venue.
Copies of the box score and play-by-play can be e-mailed or faxed to your outlets at the conclusion of each game, home or away.
Bears on the Web
All the latest news concerning the Mercer athletics program and
all MU athletic teams is available at Mercer's official website:
www.mercerbears.com
Press Row Services
Working media will be provided with box score statistics. For
men's and women's basketball games, box scores will be provided at
each media timeout, halftime and immediately following each
game.
Practices
As a general rule, all practices are open to the media and the
public. There may be instances, however, when all or part of a
practice session is closed. Please contact the Sports Information
Office in advance if you plan on attending a practice session so an
escort can be made available.
Interview Policy
Media interviews of players and coaches are encouraged, and every
effort will be made to accommodate media requests. In-person
interviews are preferred, but telephone interviews can be arranged
through the Mercer Sports Information Office. Under no
circumstances will student-athlete's residence numbers be supplied
to the media.
Interviews
All interviews with Mercer student-athletes should be coordinated
through the Sports Information Office. Players are generally
available for interviews up to 30 minutes prior to the start of
practice and directly afterward. However, these guidelines vary by
team/coach and are subject to change.
Post-game Interviews
Following a 10-minute "cooling off" period, coaches and players
from both teams will be made available to media outlets. The Sports
Information staff will be glad to assist media members in securing
players for interviews.
Fax & E-mail Service
Media outlets may request to be included on the broadcast fax and
e-mail lists to receive news regarding Mercer athletics. The Mercer
Sports Information fax number is (478) 301-5350. To be added to the
daily e-mail list, send a message with such request to sportsinformation@mercer.edu.
