NCAA Misspells “College” on Sign at College World Series
By Paul Thomson :: 11:03 PM
College has two L’s, not three.
Who needs spellcheck? Apparently, the National Collegiate Athletic Association does. Despite nearly having the word “college” in their name, they managed to misspell it on a prominent sign above the dugout at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
Spotted by Louisville, Kentucky-based sports writer Howie Lindsey and posted to Twitter, the picture above is one of many shared by collegiate baseball fans today, at the start of the series which runs through the 26th.
The NCAA has not made a public comment about the error.
They are, however, currently receiving an earful about the issue on Twitter. Below are some selected Tweets.
Ha. Gotta love the NCAA sometimes. How do you misspell “college” of ALL words

The NCAA calls themselves a cheer squad for student-athletes, but misspell “college” on 3B dugout in Omaha. How ironic.
