Donovan Dent and Skyy Clark, former UCLA Bruins, have joined 25 athletes in a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an additional season of eligibility for the 2026-2027 season. The players argue that they are missing out on a fifth year of eligibility under new NCAA guidelines. Dent, who announced his retirement, and Clark, who entered the transfer portal, aim to return to the court this fall. This lawsuit follows a similar case in Ohio that resulted in a preliminary injunction for additional eligibility for other athletes. An outcome favorable to Dent and Clark could allow them to rejoin UCLA or a different college program.
