TCU football pulls credentials from local newspaper for reporting on locker room assault story
TCU athletics rescinded the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's media credentials days before the Horned Frogs face Bill Belichick's North Carolina team in Dublin.
TL;DR
- TCU Horned Frogs football team's media credentials have been revoked for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
- The revocation is reportedly due to a report detailing a locker room incident involving player Jacob Fields, who allegedly assaulted Dozie Ezukanma.
- TCU athletic director Mike Buddie stated the decision was due to inaccurate information from an unnamed source that endangered a student-athlete.
- The newspaper's reporter will be unable to cover the season-opening game in Dublin without credentials.
- The article suggests TCU may have punished the paper for a negative story potentially reflecting poorly on head coach Sonny Dykes.
