They lack strong leadership. Their schools don’t really care about athletics. Several schools are in debt. It just doesn’t seem like they have anything going for it right now.
Update: if Big12 would get both AZ schools plus Utah and Colorado they would rival SEC and Big10. Large media outlets which is what is working to survive.
Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.
Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.
My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?
From what I have read U of O and U of W are looking to bail also. Leaving what?
