One of college football’s longest-tenured rivalries will be hitting pause for the foreseeable future.
TCU and SMU will stop scheduling each other in football indefinitely after the 2025 season, according to a Wednesday report from the Dallas Morning News which cited a TCU spokesman. The Horned Frogs and Mustangs are set to play on Sept. 23 of this year, Sept. 21, 2024, and a to-be-determined date in ’25.
TCU and SMU have played every year since 1915 with the exception of 1919, 1920, 1925, 1987-88 (when the Mustangs were given the NCAA’s “death penalty”), 2006, and 2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic). The winner of the game has received the Iron Skillet since 1946.
