## Resource

Mark Mitchell, the Missouri basketball standout, just got a fifth year of eligibility — but here’s the twist: he’s headed back to Missouri, not Kentucky. The SEC’s strict transfer rules derailed his move to Lexington, and Mitchell’s case is one of many athletes from the 2022 class fighting for an extra year under NCAA age-based guidelines — which he didn’t qualify for. After losing a recent NCAA legal battle that overturned a judge’s ruling granting all those players a fifth year, Mitchell’s path remains uncertain unless he gets specific relief like he did in state court. Still, if he plays this season, Missouri could be a major SEC contender — and this wild situation? It’s far from over.
