The Internet
Information on Eastern Illinois athletics can be found on the internet by visiting the official EIU Athletics Website at www.EIUpanthers.com. Information on the Ohio Valley Conference and its members can be accessed at www.ovcsports.com.
Media Access
Most of Eastern Illinois athletic facilities now contain wireless access for use by visiting team's and media members. Please reach out to the EIU Media Relations office if you have questions.
Interviews & Player/Coach Access
Interviews with Eastern Illinois players and coaches can be obtained following each EIU home event. NCAA rules permit players and coaches a minimum of a 10-minute cooling off period prior to the interview period. A media relations staff member can direct you to the interview area at each athletic venue.
For non-game day interviews with a coach or player, please contact the media relations contact for that sport for more information. For information on weekly football and basketball press conferences please contact Rich Moser, EIU Associate AD.
Credentials
Credentials for working press and photographers can be obtained through the Eastern Illinois media relations department. All requests must be made in writing (via email) at least one week in advance of the contest. Season long passes will be issued to select media at the beginning of that sports season. Please make requests for parking passes at the same time as you make press/photo credential requests.
PMS Colors and Logos
Eastern Illinois athletic logos can be requested through any member of the sports information office. Our PMS Colors for any EIU logo are PMS 2945 Blue, PMS 422 Gray and White.
