Kudos to @NHLPA for getting their players a break around and through Xmas, quite unlike NBA & NFL. I assume this all comes down to collective bargaining.
@RisonOnSports@HD_DirtKing You would need one person in charge, whether prez (like U Cal.) or chancellor (like U Illinois), even if there is subordinate leadership on the separate campuses. I assume Pacific and Willamette would be downgraded to "college"; U with a U doesn't make sense.
So apparently Oregon public school districts can start the year on different days (some today, some after Labor Day) but they all *must* take the same spring break. Why?
