From the Chancellor

Athletics are TCU’s front porch — attracting talent, building community and shaping student-athletes as scholars and citizens.

WHY IS ATHLETICS ONE OF THE FOUR PILLARS OF TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY’S LEAD ON: VALUES IN ACTION STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE FUTURE? Sports have been absolutely catalytic in propelling TCU from a respected regional university onto the national stage as a top-tier institution.

Horned Frogs athletics act as our “front porch,” helping draw talented students from all corners of the globe right here to Fort Worth. And with athletics director Mike Buddie — whose proven success aligns perfectly with our values — at the helm, we are taking the reins of leadership in the shifting world of college sports.

The energy and shared experience surrounding our programs forge deep, lasting connections among students and extend to our alumni, faculty, staff and broader community members. Our vision is to be a true destination for student-athletes who seek elite competition while being members of a university community that genuinely values their holistic development as athletes, as scholars and as engaged citizens.

Athletics aren’t just about winning games; they are about building our brand, attracting top talent, fostering community and strengthening our ties for decades to come.

See you at a game soon. Go Frogs!
