Jacksonville State University currently sponsors 16 sports. It is the responsibility of the Sports Information Office to disseminate information on all 16 of those sports, the coaching staff and the student-athletes as well as all members of the JSU  Athletics Department.

The Sports Information Office is located on the second floor of Kannamer Hall on JSU's campus.

Media Guides are a production of the JSU Sports Information Office as a service to opposing teams and the media. The general public may purchase media guides from the Sports Information Office by contacting them at 256.782.5915. Football and men's and women's basketball media guides are $10 each, while baseball and softball are $8 and all others are $5. You can send checks, including a request for the particular media guide, to JSU Sports Information, Kennamer Hall, 700 Pelham Road North, Jacksonville, AL 36265.

Information on the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, all other Ohio Valley Conference teams and the OVC is available to members of the media 24 hours a day through the various school and conference Internet websites. The Gamecocks' most up-to-date releases and statistics for many sports may be accessed throughout this website. The Ohio Valley Conference has a website at http://www.ovcsports.com that is updated daily with statistics and, throughout basketball season, is updated nightly with box scores and conference statistics.

Programs, media guides, lineups, statistics, OVC standings and notes and game background information will be supplied at all home games to accredited media representatives and scouts at Press Row (basketball), and at the Press Tables (soccer) or Press Box (football, softball and baseball). Access to Press Row and Press Rooms in Burgess-Snow Field, Pete Mathews Coliseum, Rudy Abbott Field, the JSU Soccer Field and University Field is reserved for properly-credentialed individuals only.

For basketball games, quick stats are provided to broadcasters during time-outs. At football and basketball, NCAA box scores are distributed at halftime with a complete NCAA Final Box Score and Play-by-Play available after the game in the Press Room or Press Boxes. Refreshments will also be served in the Press Box for the media prior to each football game.

Telephones are available after all games, either in the Press Box or Press Room at all events on a first-come, first, served basis. Fax service is also available following the game, by request.

The best way to reach all of the JSU coaches is through the Sports Information Office. Please feel free to contact us for assistance in arranging interviews with the coaches.

Please arrange all player interviews through the Sports Information Office, allowing a day in advance, if possible. We will try to accomodate every request, taking the players' classroom and practice schedules into account.

Gamecocks coaches and players will be available for post-game interviews following a brief cooling off period. For football, Coach Crowe will be in the post-game press conference in the Gamecock Fieldhouse at the West End of the Stadium. For basketball, Coach Green, Coach Watts and the visiting coaches will be in the post-game press conference in the Media Room. JSU players may also be brought to the Media Room for interviews by request. Post-game policy for visitors may vary at the teams' discretion. For all other sports, contact the SID for the sport after the game to arrange post-game interviews at the site. Media representatives are advised to contact the visiting SID with special requests.
