Yahoo Sports · August 27, 2026

According to Yahoo Sports reporter Ross Dellenger, Mitchell's attorneys have amended their lawsuit in Kentucky , challenging both the NCAA and SEC to keep Mitchell eligible this coming season.
"Attorneys amended their complaint in the Kentucky eligibility lawsuit against the NCAA, requesting a judge hold the NCAA in contempt of court for allowing the SEC to issue a new policy that impacts the eligibility of 13 athletes, including Missouri-to-UK transfer Mark Mitchell," Dellenger wrote on Twitter .
"Attorney Ryan Downton tells @YahooSports that the players believe the SEC's new policy and "draconian penalties" interfere with their "constitutional right to have access to the court system," as the sanctions may prevent schools from accepting the players onto rosters."
