(AP) -- The Southeastern Conference says an announcement that Missouri was joining the league was inadvertently posted on the league's Web site and that no agreement has been reached.
The announcement dated Oct. 22 was on the site Thursday night, and was reported by outkickthecoverage.com.
The SEC's Web site attributed the announcement to SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and said he made it on Monday - presumably of this week given the listed date.
It included Missouri-SEC connections and detailed the university's athletic history.
SEC spokesman Charles Bloom posted on Twitter that a Web vendor made a mistake and that the SEC and Missouri don't have an agreement.
The announcement was pulled from the site.
It touted Missouri's natural geographic fit, its academics and even the popularity of barbecue and country music.
