BE IN YOUR SEATS EARLY
Arrive early for Saturday's 7 p.m. home football game versus Kansas. Navy Leap Frogs will be parachuting in pregame during the national anthem. They are getting airborne in a C-130 Hercules from the 136th-Texas Air National Guard. Flying the plane will be a trio of TCU graduates in pilots Lt. Col. Tyler Thompson, Capt. Josh Taylor and Navigator Lt. Col. Wayne Vaughn.
HOMECOMING
Make a point to hit our Homecoming festivities Friday! TCU Athletics will have a float in the Homecoming Parade. We will have some of the floats on display Saturday in Frog Alley.
Following the parade, the Homecoming Pep Rally in the Campus Commons will feature a very special appearance by our head football coach! Gary Patterson will speak at 6:25 p.m. Joining Coach Patterson will be head men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon and head women's basketball coach Raegan Pebley as well as their teams, who will sign autographs at Frog Fest following the pep rally.
HALL OF FAME WEEKEND
An added bonus to the Homecoming festivities centered around the football game is Thursday's induction of the 50th class of our TCU Lettermen's Association Hall of Fame.
Congratulations to Austin Adams (baseball), Kelly Crowell-Goehl (women's diving), Pete Jordan (men's golf), Jill Pape-Kramer (volleyball), Corey Santee (men's basketball) and Col. Sue Ann Sandusky (rifle).
It's pretty special to have Jill join Jamie Dixon (men's basketball) and David Roditi (men's tennis) as current TCU head coaches who are also Hall of Famers at their alma mater. In case you weren't aware, Corey is now part of Coach Dixon's staff as a graduate assistant coach.
Baseball great Jake Arrieta was also elected to this year's class but has deferred his induction to another year due to his MLB schedule.
Speaking of Hall of Famers, we'll have LaDainian Tomlinson at Saturday's football game as part of his Pro Football Hall of Fame Hometown Salute. In fact, our team will be wearing a commemorative sticker on its helmet Saturday to honor LT.
TC LOGO LAUNCH
As you might have seen on social media, we've worked in conjunction with IMG College Licensing to launch a line of merchandise with our historic TC trademark made famous in recent years by our baseball team's look at Sunday home games.
The initial product collection with the TC mark includes hats, polos and button-down shirts from top licensees such as Original Retro Brand, Peter Millar, Nike and New Era. TCU's College Vault TC merchandise is available now at the TCU Bookstore, the TCU Team Store or HERE.
HORNED FROG CLASSIC NEARING
A special thank you to everyone who helped make Monday's 39th Annual Horned Frog Classic a sellout for the fifth consecutive year. This year's event will be held at Colonial Country Club, a tremendous partner and friend of TCU. We very much appreciate title sponsor Greenwood Office Outfitters as well as all our sponsors. Join us for this iconic TCU golf event, featuring our men's and women's programs, that provides funding for student-athlete scholarships through the Frog Club.
STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to football's Nick Orr and soccer's Yazmeen Ryan who have been selected as our TCU Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Week!
Nick made the key defensive play in our 26-6 win at Kansas State. The senior from DeSoto, Texas, had the tackle for no gain on the 4th-and-1 run at our 8-yard line to stop a Wildcats' drive when they were trailing just 20-6 in the third quarter. Yazmeen scored the game-winning goal Friday against Oklahoma as our 2-0 victory improved us to 4-1-1 in Big 12 play.
ON THE DOCKET
In addition to football home for Kansas Saturday at 7 p.m., we have our sixth-ranked equestrian team hosting No. 1 Georgia Friday at 10 a.m. at our Springtown facility. Soccer hits the road for matches Thursday at Iowa State and Sunday at West Virginia. Volleyball is home for Oklahoma Wednesday at 6 p.m. and will then also be in Ames for a Saturday contest against the Cyclones. Our men's and women's golf teams as well as men's tennis will compete in various tournaments.

COMPLIANCE CORNER
Ocean State University (OSU) has a home football game this weekend. During the game, OSU would like to recognize Flip Turn, a swimming student-athlete at OSU, for being an NCAA Champion in three individual events last winter. Flip's parents would like to attend the game to see their son being honored. Is it permissible for OSU to provide complimentary admissions to Flip's parents?
Yes. This is permissible. Division I NCAA Bylaw 16.2.1.3.2 states that an institution may provide a maximum of four complimentary admissions to a student-athlete for an institution's game or event during which a student-athlete is being honored but not participating, provided such complimentary admissions are used by the student-athlete's family members.

Go Frogs!
