I don't want to be harsh here. People who work in sports are very busy. They have so much going on. They typically work well past 40 hours and don't usually get compensated for doing that. I have high standards, as do most people who work in athletics. They wouldn't have a job without them.
With that being said, I really don't get a couple of things.
While I make grammatical errors and mistakes here, I'm also not writing a press release. It amazes me how often some of the releases from UCONN contain grammatical mistakes. Careless mistakes, that really don't make the department look good.
The latest thing I caught was the Athletics Re-Branding Video. It's an amazing video. I could not make something like that. I could however make sure that there weren't a few random screen slides between Caroline Doty and Andre Blake.

You just can't have that error in a branding video to unveil a new logo. If that video is showing what we are all about, it's hard not to notice and take off for the fact that there is an error in the video.
I'm just saying that maybe an intern or student worker needs to come in at a big school to just proofread and edit things. An extra pair of eyes never hurts, and can help prevent embarrassing mishaps.
