HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss Athletics will join the Sun Belt Conference and the College Football Playoff throughout the 2022 football season in recognizing local teachers as part of the Extra Yard for Teachers initiative.
Each of the Sun Belt's 14 institutions is receiving a $6,000 grant from the CFP Foundation to elevate the teaching profession by inspiring and empowering teachers through the implementation of the program's four focus areas: resources, recognition, recruitment and professional development.
Southern Miss will recognize teachers at select Pine Belt area schools, providing resources for their ongoing work and honoring them at the September 17 home football game against Northwestern State.
Initiated in 2015, Extra Yard for Teachers Week is a nationwide celebration of teachers, led by the CFP Foundation. During Extra Yard for Teachers Week, universities, conferences, and ESPN come together to celebrate and recognize teachers, while building awareness of the growing Extra Yard for Teachers initiative.
The Sun Belt Conference will also promote the Extra Yard for Teachers initiative during the 2022 Sun Belt Football Championship Game, which is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN.
