It all depends on how fast they pass the rules all these conferences are considering making. The TRO doesn’t prevent them from making people who signed pro contracts as being ineligible.

If the NCAA and SEC could strip LSU using any means they will. If LSU goes on and wins the SEC and gets to the CFP and wins the NC. You can bet they will strip LSU from both and forfeit all their games for 2026-27' year. I'm saying it now. They will come after LSU if it is reversed during the season or after.

The TRO includes prohibitory restitution language.
In 2024, the DOJ and multiple state AGs explicitly forced the NCAA to agree to a permanent prohibition on using the Rule of Restitution against transfer athletes and their schools. That case would serve as precedent here.
If a state court says, "This athlete is legally permitted to play today," and the NCAA later says, "We are stripping all your team wins because you listened to the judge, and allowed the athlete to play" courts would almost certainly view it as an unlawful attempt to override judicial supremacy.
The problem with your premise is that the ruling wasn’t targeted to a specific player.
Schools/conferences can still enforce secondary eligibility requirements. It’s not like the TRO allows the guy to play without enrolling and maintaining grades.
This will spawn lawsuits over the question if they would have declared if they knew if they could have stayed.

YET ...
... the Big 10 actively recruits, and signs, foreign professional players to its basketball programs. The hypocrisy knows limits.
Aday Mara (Michigan): Before coming to college, Mara played in Spain's Liga ACB (one of the top pro leagues in the world) for Basket Zaragoza. He transferred to Michigan for the 2025–26 season, where he led the Wolverines to a National Championship and won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
Tomislav Ivišic (Illinois): The Croatian center played multiple seasons of professional basketball in Europe for SC Derby in the ABA League (Adriatic League) before signing with Illinois.
Berke Büyüktuncel (Nebraska / UCLA): The Turkish forward competed professionally for Tofas in the Turkish Super League (BSL) and Basketball Champions League before coming to the U.S.
The case of the 2022 football group is unique, and will not occur again … assuming the NCAA does not issue an equally stupid ruling in the future. Big 10 schools are not currently in a situation to take advantage of this one off nuance. That is all this amounts to.
You know that. I know that. The Big Ten knows that. And now readers in this thread know it.

I would let them be on the team, for now at least, and practice but not play in a game. That was LSU looks like heroes for trying to help the young men and no risk of getting burned and having to forfeit if the hammer drops.
