Or sidearm sports generating cookie cutter articles for all teams then incorrectly filling in names? Mid article it lists out the former Shockers (that's Witchita State not us) to participated in the PIT. Then later in the article it calls Carry "Porter" which is likely a mix up with Witchita State's Craig Porter who also played in the PIT. We live in the golden age of garbage reporting.

Here's the Witchita version of the same article.

"golden age of garbage reporting" is right. That's worse than when the official MAC website once referred to Trevor as "Hoffman". Errors have always been with us. I remember close to 30 years ago a newspaper, no doubt using some early version of automatic correction, once wrote, "The increased funding is expected to put the budget back in the African-American." But it's worse than ever now.
