TCU does an about-face after stripping local newspaper's credentials days before football season

Texas Christian University (TCU) has reversed its decision to revoke press credentials from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a local newspaper, just days before the start of the football season. The move comes after TCU pulled the outlet's credentials over a report about a locker room altercation that led to the dismissal of senior safety Jacob Fields. The incident occurred last week, but TCU has now reinstated the paper's credentials following "productive discussions" between the two parties. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, which is also the founder and publisher of Amon G. Carter Stadium where TCU plays its home games, will be able to cover the team again, including their upcoming game against the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in Dublin, Ireland. The reinstatement allows Star-Telegram reporter Steven Johnson to have access to the team's facilities and events, allowing him to provide coverage from a more privileged position.
