See some trolls online saying Mitchell won't be eligible do to the Big10 ruling and that the SEC is following the train.
Saying his 10 day contract could make him ineligible.

Will Mitchell stay eligible?

It was actually covered in the KY court case. He (and the others on the list) had to pay back any money they received from contracts signed over the summer. It was part of the TRO ruling that players believing they had exhausted their eligibility only entered into those contracts because they believed they could no longer play in college.
Now whether or not the Kentucky ruling stands on appeal is still a question. But legally the SEC will have a hard time enforcing it with most courts ruling in favor of the players at this point.

The next several weeks could get pretty interesting. Sure hope his Kentucky court ruling holds up.
I don't think it will matter. These players can sue the conferences just like the NCAA. Nobody seems to have any teeth for rules when it comes to NIL and the wildness that comes from it.
Hard to say for sure, but I'm fairly confidant he will be eligible. The NCAA's argument seems arbitrary and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, Giving everyone BUT this class an extra year doesn't seem to have any logic behind it.
I hate to agree with what Lane Kiffin said, but the NCAA basically told this class that they didn't have any eligibility, and then players were able to find a way through the courts to get eligible. The NCAA just needs to accept defeat and allow the class of 2022 to be grandfathered in with the 5 for 5 and move on. But that won't happen because the NCAA is the epitome of incompetence
Also, a lot of fans of the University 6 are hanging onto the SEC intraconference transfer rules. That rule falls apart when they decided to wait till the last second to apply the 5 for 5. Players will argue they were misled which forced them to have to wait to enter the transfer portal.
Nice to see fans of University 6 worried now that they no longer can claim the #1 Transfer portal.

UofL fans didn't seem to have an issue with intraconference transfers when Seth Trimble committed to them...
That's what doesn't make any sense, the COVID years got an extra year and the classes from 2023 and on will get it but they try and cut out 2022 from getting it. With the NCAA going for the 5 in 5 they should have just automatically granted it for the eligible kids from the 2022 class.
The only way the NCAA and/or SEC can stop Mitchell at this point is through the courts.
Good luck, b*tches.

People are annoyed at LSU taking guys out of NFL training camps. Was Mitchell even on a Summer League team?
I think he will and I think the legal team they used knew their stuff better than any of the other cases I’ve seen so far. Definitely better than Louisville’s lol
The ACC doesn't have a rule like the SEC does.
If your talking about the transfer in conference,that will be beat in court
Zero chance Mitchell plays for Kentucky.
We don’t get to have nice things, this should be accepted by now.
Mitchell played in the NBA Summer League, didn’t make a roster, and then filed to come back to college.
He is the definition of what all the power conferences are about to ban.
It was a nice try, would’ve been great, but it ain’t happening.

Mitchell and Afari ineligible if this is enforced.
You know nothing. This will be decided in courts, like everybody else is saying.
and you have 2 posts. Troll much?
All posturing to scare kids off imo after the NCAA kept losing on these state cases.
Trying to keep the floodgates of state suits at bay.

I think we need to think about this from a class of 2022 stand point. The NCAA unfairly is trying to bar the class of 2022 from doing 5&5 while every other class will get. So the class of 2022 under the assumption that there was no 5th year signed pro contracts as any smart individual would do with no other option. Now the NCAA is being petty even though they know the only reason 2022 guys signed pro deals is because they didn’t know they could go back
Possible likely outcome will be 2022 players will be eligible as they didn’t get a fair shake. But no one after will be able to do so again.

This is the same issue that was already litigated. The decision is that it's unfair to these players because they weren't given the opportunity to choose.
It's time for the SEC to get their turn at the FAFO in court game. I can't stand the league, their arbitrary rules enforcement, and their lack of action to address obvious officiating issues. Screw them.
I wonder if I could get elected to office running on a platform of "The NCAA are morons, let's fix this mess:"
- 4 years of eligibility per student athlete
- your ineligible if you've played pro anywhere
- only 1 free transfer, all additional transfers require a mandatory season of ineligibility
- NIL salary cap of $15 million per sports program
- transfer fees where schools pay a percentage to the school they are taking the transfer from
- 64 team NCAA tournament, no more Final Fours in Football stadiums
- all conferences are reset to their membership circa the year 2000, with strict limits on all future realignment moves
- all conferences must be regional

Mitchell will play. NCAA & SEC can gfts and get destroyed in court. Guarantee LSU will be playing all their NFL dudes all season. Lane won't back down and will set the precedent.
ya, because the SEC is just sooo good to the University of Kentucky.
You wouldn't get one thing done, and fit right in.
I think the most realistic way of looking at this is nobody is sure how many of these 5th year players will be eligible when their sports seasons kick off. Lot of court cases, lot of rules, lot of different judges' opinions, lot of tricks for lawyers to pull.
Where does it end?
Sue the NCAA- win. Then the conferences put up roadblocks.
Sue the conference- win. But if conferences hold the schools to their requirement, what does the player do?
Schools could easily fear repercussions.
Players are not going to sue the school??
What a stupid hill to die on for the SEC. Hope we play him anyway and sue the **** out of the conference.
If the NCAA and the Conferences lose in court and decide to enforce their rules anyway, we'll have to get the popcorn going. It will be quite a show.
He did not sign it! According to sources. TIFWIW.
Yes, but apparently he didn’t sign his E10 contract. That’s a big hurdle cleared if true.
They can try to enforce this but it’s a new rule that took effect after, he couldn’t not declare because he was supposedly out of eligibility, and he didn’t sign a deal. So I think he wins this. Plus doesn’t this make them violate multiple current TRO’s in court and it could be argued they are acting against the NCAA on their own which is another can of worms. I actually agree in broad terms of what they are trying to achieve, but banning one class from the same rules as everyone else is dumb and a stupid hill to die on.

Screw the SEC they have been biased against us for years. Take them on.
Hell no.
The rule is withdrew from draft, not... went undrafted.
He went undrafted. He didn't pull out.
He fked.
Gonna need to look elsewhere immediately like right now. This one is cooked.
Anybody that doesn't realize the NBA part was put on there to stop Kentucky and Mitchell is....
Not paying attention.
Our University president voted for it. All16 teams voted for it.
Not even worth the trying to stop it. It was done on purpose by our own people.
