The eligibility battle for Mark Mitchell of Missouri and several other college basketball players seeking a fifth season grew more complicated Friday, when a Kentucky Court of Appeals dissolved a temporary injunction that had been the basis for their eligibility, according to CBS Sports.
Per Yahoo Sports, the NCAA's appeal victory leaves players including Mitchell ineligible, though the reporting does not provide a complete accounting of all affected athletes or specify which cases remain pending. ESPN reported that with roughly a month until the 2026-27 season begins, the NCAA is working through multiple player eligibility cases, including separate matters involving Missouri's roster count.
