TCU has reinstated the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's media credentials as of September 4, following a suspension lasting nearly two weeks. This action came after the newspaper covered a locker room incident involving Jacob Fields, who was charged with aggravated assault after Dozie Noble Ezukanma suffered a brain bleed.
Despite the credential suspension, the Star-Telegram continued its coverage of the incident. TCU Athletics issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to progress and recognizing the newspaper's importance as an independent news outlet in the community. The Horned Frogs began their season with a loss against North Carolina, ending the game 15-10 in Ireland, and are set to compete against Grambling State on September 12.
The suspension of the Star-Telegram's credentials was reportedly connected to 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 at TCU sporting events.
