SEC mistakenly announces Missouri to SEC on website … then pulls the stories

The Big 12 isn’t the only conference prone to embarrassing mistakes. The SEC accidentally posted an article on the conference’s website announcing that the University of Missouri was officially headed south to become its 14th member. The article was dated October 22, but referenced “Monday” as Mizzou’s official join date. The articles have since been pulled.

As you can see above, the story says Mizzou would begin play in the SEC on July 1, 2012.

Sports By Brooks points out that several of the stories about Missouri’s move to the SEC still show up in search results on the conference’s website.
