TCU Reverses Ban on Reporter Access

Texas Christian University has reversed its decision to revoke media credentials for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The university initially pulled the credentials following a report detailing the dismissal of senior safety Jacob Fields due to a locker room incident. This action meant that a reporter for the outlet had to cover the team's season opener in Dublin, Ireland, from the stands. The Horned Frogs faced the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in that game, which they lost 15-10. The school has now reinstated the press credentials after a series of productive discussions with the newspaper. TCU Athletics stated they respect the outlet's role as an independent news source and look forward to the remainder of the season. The team is scheduled to play Grambling State Tigers on September 12.
