Football players, fraternity members among 17 arrested in TCU drug bust

FORT WORTH, Texas—Texas Christian University officials, along with campus and Fort Worth police, have announced the arrest of 17 students accused of dealing drugs on and off campus.
At an on-campus news conference at 9:30 a.m., campus police Chief Steve McGee described this morning’s arrests, saying Fort Worth police, armed with warrants, arrested 3 students on campus and 14 students off-campus.

This is not a problem exclusive to TCU. TCU's drug scene is not that big when compared to other schools. In my 4 years, I've only encountered marijuana and study drugs...never even seen cocaine, LSD, or ecstasy. I know there are students who partake obviously, but most students never even touch these drugs.

Our administration responded to complaints from other students and parents and launched the investigation with the Fort Worth police. The bust was being planned for 6 months apparently. I'm proud that our administration and athletic department were courageous in taking action to address a serious problem. Many other schools might have turned a blind eye and let the situation go unnoticed. The university and football program will learn, move on, and grow stronger.

And FYI, one sorority also had a member involved who was arrested and expelled.

I think that TCU officials did a very good job in responding to complaints and working with Fort Worth Police Department.
What was a little surprising to me is that early reports stated they were acting independently and it was not a ring. I think as this students start to answer questions there could be some additional arrest.
TCU has a good reputation and I am happy to see they are trying very hard to keep it that way!

Oy. My fraternity recently colonized at TCU. I'm hoping this doesn't spill over to all Greeks in the system.

I watched the press conference this morning that TCU held in conjunction with the campus and FWPD. While my heart initially sank that this was occurring at my beloved alma mater, I was very impressed with the way that the school, and specifically the chancellor handled the situation. Drugs are present at virtually every school across the country, and I appreciate that they got out in front of the problem and stressed their no-tolerance for such behavior. Another campus in the DFW area turned a blind eye to their drug problem for several years, and during that time 3 students died in drug-related ways.

In addition, I was particularly impressed with Chancellor Boschini clarifying on multiple occasions that, as of now, this is NOT a fraternity problem but a problem of a few individuals in fraternities. Of note, one individual did make a sell in a fraternity house.
