White House's Kayleigh McEnany leaves Michigan out of Big Ten football, adds Mississippi

The Big Ten Conference announced Wednesday morning that football is returning Oct. 23.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany read a statement congratulating the conference on the return of football.

One thing, she didn't list the right states.

She left out Michigan, which includes Big Ten Conference members Michigan and Michigan State.

She erroneously added Mississippi as a state with Big Ten Conference football.

"I just spoke with the President, and he wanted to thank the commissioner of Big Ten football Kevin Warren and all of the players, parents, coaches and fans — who wanted more than anything to play football," McEnany said in a video released by The White House.
