I also think he is trying to compete with the Uncheaters. Hey, you have to go to class but we will try and keep you eligible if you show up and try.

Dude, if they could do grammar sand spelling and stuff they wouldn't be pirates they'd be in the Navy....and kept ashore in some soul-killing staff job

It's a football scholarhip, not a biomedical engineering scholarship. Wgaf

Lets be real, its not like any talented AAC football players would notice a spelling error.

Yes. Here's a digital image of the replacement.

A+ for the idea. While the execution was flawed, these things happen. North Carolina public schools don't teach cursive anymore so I'm going to blame that!

I mean the "Schlarhip" misspelling is not even buried in the body of the offer. Pure ECU.

This coming from the 635th ranked University in the country according to Forbes. That's rich.

Okay.. I like piling on as much as the next guy, but in this case, the "s" would go after the "r" - which looks at first glance like a cursive "s". So I understand how it did not get caught as easily as some here think it should have.

You Effers need to spend a day in the shoes of someone with dyslexia. It's a b!tch.

Still this is a pretty good idea, I wonder if they sent gold with those letters?

Was just waiting for grammar school to get out so you could post this. Seriously I have to blame this on Duke.

LOL. This isn't a message board grammar issue. It's a major university letter and marketing campaign gone wrong. It goes way beyond the message board grammar police.

I agree with you 100%. The misspellings (esp "scholarhip") were the first things I noticed after the format. It's ******* embarrassing for a university to have misspellings on ANYTHING but especially something that was meant to grab attention.

Maybe it's a North Carolina thing...? As far as the ECU thing is concerned, it was still a good idea (and since it has more than 1 error, perhaps you can spin it into a pirate thing). Cool idea, but Compher's still an idiot.

College sports have a history of misspellings. At least this didn't end up on a jersey.
