A spelling error in USF's Big 12 promotional materials tout its "reasearch" productivity. Dang.
Big 12 expansion, like much of the realignment situation, is awkward. Awkward for the Big 12 which, though in the driver's seat, probably has to expand or eventually die. And certainly awkward for the universities that prostrate themselves before the Big 12 in efforts to secure an invitation.
USF may have raised the awkwardness to a new level. Its Big 12 promotional submission "case statement" includes an egregious spelling error. Naturally, it comes in a section which touts USF's academics:
