'Michigan Won Title' Ad Mistakenly Goes On Amazon, Says Wolverines Won NCAA Championship

Everyone makes mistakes. It's part of life.

Following an incorrect book advertisement referred to the Michigan Wolverines as 2013 NCAA basketball champions however, many are wondering how a mistake like this could have been made.

Last Monday, the Michigan Wolverines matched up with the Louisville Cardinals in the National Title game. The Cardinals won the 82-76 in come-from-behind fashion.

As Fox Sports Detroit points out, the Detroit Free Press declared the Wolverines the National Champions in a book advertisement on Amazon.com shortly after the game, a game Michigan did not win.

The ad was supposed to be released to promote a new book honoring Michigan basketball and their 2013 championship.

"We're very sorry for this mistake," Assistant Managing Editor for the Press Stefanie Murray wrote on the books page at Amazon.com. "The Free Press had prepared a fantastic book to publish should Michigan win the national title, and an error with our book publisher caused the promotion for the book to be displayed on Amazon."

While this was a pretty noticeable error considering Louisville won the game, the Huffington Post reported another similar headline gaffe.

The Montgomery Advertiser, a newspaper centered in Montgomery, Alabama, falsely deemed the Syracuse Orange National Champions after last Monday's title game. While the mistake was similar to the one made by the Detroit Free Press, the Montgomery Advertiser at least had a picture of the actual champion Louisville Cardinals on the front page.

The two media outlets have corrected their mistakes but unfortunately for the Michigan Wolverines, the outcome in their loss to Louisville will remain unchanged.

At least both media outlets had the proper members from the Final Four entangled in their mistakes.

Michigan defeated Syracuse in the Final Four before falling to Louisville in the championship game.
