Missouri re-enters CBS Sports' Top 25 And 1 at No. 21 after Mark Mitchell returns to Missouri from Kentucky amid ongoing fifth-year eligibility scrutiny; Kentucky falls to No. 17 as Mitchell’s status remains subject to NCAA decisions, with the overall ranking treated as provisional until eligibility is settled.
North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein has filed a federal lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging that the organization's transfer eligibility rule unlawfully restricts college athletes' ability to change schools and play sports. The lawsuit challenges the NCAA's new rule, implemented in January, which requires undergraduate students who transfer a second time to sit out a season or obtain a waiver. Stein argues that student-athletes should have the freedom to pursue their dreams and transfer schools as long as they are in good academic standing. Attorneys general from six other states are also part of the suit, seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent the NCAA from enforcing the transfer rule.
