In a case study done by Holzweiss, Rhan, and Wickline (2007)  interviewers asked students about the negative impacts of their extracurriculars. The main similarity was that students realized that the more time they spent in their extracurricular, the less time they had to study. It was common for students to want to spend more time in their organization because they were more passionate about it, so it was easy to let homework slide.
