U-T Sports: Hoodwinked!

Today on signonsandiego.com:

The lead item in yesterday’s Gallery detailing Purdue’s mistake in signing the wrong Jason Smith to a basketball scholarship was in fact a satirical story from www.hoosiergazette.com, a Web site that pokes fun at Indiana. There was no basis in fact for any part of the story.

The Union-Tribune regrets the error.

And that hoosiergate story they posted was this one: Purdue signs wrong Jason Smith to basketball letter of intent

Very funny error! Time to beef up the fact-checking staff U-T!
