BREAKING: TCU football pausing series with SMU after 2025 season

Multiple reports Wednesday morning indicate that TCU football will be indefinitely pausing its home-and-home nonconference series against SMU after the 2025 season. The Fort Worth-Dallas rivalry matchup, better known as the Battle for the Iron Skillet, has been played since 1915 and will see its 102nd installation during the 2023 season, when the Mustangs travel to Amon G. Carter Stadium to face the Horned Frogs. TCU football holds a 52-42-7 overall record against SMU since the game’s inception over a century ago.
