Birmingham, Ala. -- The Southeastern Conference has issued a revised Media Credential Policy for the 2009-10 season, conference officials today. The policy is in effect for all SEC intercollegiate athletic events hosted by its member institutions.
“During the last week, we have heard from members of the media about the credential policy,” said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. “This revised policy reflects many of the concerns that we have heard. It is a balance between the media’s ability to cover our sporting events and the SEC’s ability to protect its digital rights and trademarks.”
The SEC Media Credential Policy will be reviewed annually and the conference will seek feedback from media members on the policy.
