April 2, 2023 (newsweek.com) – Just as four universities went to Dallas to play in the Final Four Women’s NCAA basketball tournament, so did 38 debate teams from high schools across the country for the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL) National Championship Tournament. But unlike the college athletes, the debaters are leaving Dallas without a winner.
After four years of online tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teams finally got the chance to gather in person to compete against students from across the country at Southern Methodist University.
