ASU’s Global Leap: Football and Study in London | Mesa News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:18

Arizona State University is making waves across the Atlantic—sending its football team to Wembley Stadium to face the Kansas Jayhawks while simultaneously launching a new London campus this fall. One of the first students to dive in? Shelby Connell, a freshman business major from an ASU alumni family, who’s trading desert sun for British rain to study abroad for three years before finishing her degree back home. For Shelby, it’s not just about academics—it’s a global adventure, a chance to meet people from every corner of the world and embrace a culture shock that’ll make her stronger. And as ASU blends athletics with international education, this bold move signals a new era for the university—one where Sun Devils aren’t just playing football overseas, but living, learning, and thriving in London.
