The department will select the winners who best exemplify the combination of academic and athletic excellence. They are guaranteed to make your job and the job of the Sports Information Office easier and more productive. The Sports Information Office's task is to promote the University of South Florida and its athletic programs, primarily through the media - newspaper, radio and television. However, this requires a great deal of cooperation on the part of the student-athlete, as well. For example, please be on time for interviews or let us know as soon as possible if you will be late.
Cooperation breeds positive relationships and, in turn, positive stories.
Be courteous with the media, and please bring any problems to us. Let the Sports Information Office handle all interview requests. If we haven't set up the interview and you don't wish to speak to the reporter, you don't have to. When interviewed there are a few things to remember about what you say. No one likes to be told what to say, but a few suggestions will help everyone involved.
