TCU football reinstated the media credentials for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on September 4 after a suspension that lasted nearly two weeks. This action came after the newspaper covered a locker room incident involving Jacob Fields, who faces charges of aggravated assault following an incident that left Dozie Noble Ezukanma with a brain bleed.
Despite the credential suspension, the Star-Telegram continued its reporting on the situation. 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, and are set to compete against Grambling State on September 12.
The decision to revoke the Star-Telegram's credentials was reportedly associated with threats made against Ezukanma, although the newspaper clarified that it did not disclose his identity following the incident. With the credentials now restored, the Star-Telegram will regain full access to media areas during TCU games.
