TCU football reinstated the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's media credentials on September 4, following a suspension that lasted nearly two weeks. This action came after the newspaper reported on an incident involving players Jacob Fields and Dozie Noble Ezukanma, who suffered a brain bleed, leading to Fields being charged with aggravated assault.
Despite the revocation of credentials, the Star-Telegram continued its coverage of the incident. TCU Athletics released a statement emphasizing its commitment to progress and recognizing the newspaper's importance as an independent news source in the community.
The Horned Frogs began their season with a loss against North Carolina, finishing 15-10 in Ireland. They are set to play against Grambling State on September 12. The initial decision to revoke the Star-Telegram's credentials was reportedly associated with threats made against Ezukanma, although the newspaper clarified it did not identify him after the incident.
With the credentials restored, the Star-Telegram will regain full access to media areas at TCU games.
