If you think the Frogs have been doing better on the fields and courts of competition, you’re right. All sports combined, this past academic year marked the most successful outing for TCU Athletics ever. 

“This year has been extremely special for all of us,” Athletics Director Eric Hyman said. “TCU has made a wonderful investment in the department via personnel, facilities and scholarships. 

The coaches have exhibited their ingenuity and creativity, which has assisted our student-athletes in reaching their potential. The results have gained national awareness, prominence and respect. A foundation has been laid for continued success, in which the TCU extended family can be proud.”
