I'm sure we will see SEC vs South Carolina in federal court too, right? Right? Getting sued like LSU, right?

No contract. Mini camp is not the same as training camp.

But he didn’t “sign an NFL contract” which is the distinction that the SEC has decided it is willing to go on full on cuban missile crisis brinksmanship over.

And this is the crux of the entire hypocrisy and ridiculous nature of it.

The relevant question, from the SEC's standpoint, is whether he signed a contract with a pro team or not. If he only participated in minicamp but never got signed (like Cole Hutson at UT), then he would be eligible.

I am not taking a position on whether or not that rule makes sense, but that's what distinguishes him from the two former Ole Miss guys that LSU is interested in. That, and the fact that they previously played for another SEC school.

So what?

Zxavian Harris' "contract" was for zero dollars. he got paid nothing, and didn't practice a snap

The essential argument is this:

Good enough for minicamp but got cut: Good

Good enough for Training Camp but got cut: Bad.

Absurd

I am well aware.

And this distinction is absurd to even basic scrutiny.

I would like more SEC schools to do this. They can't punish them all.

They aren't going to punish them at all because the SEC has already said a minicamp is fine.

You say no contract but getting paid means you have to enter in to some agreement with taxes and all.

Yes, NFL players get paid for attending minicamp, but they do not receive their standard salary checks. 
Instead, minicamp payments work through per-diem stipends and workout bonuses, set by the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). 
How Minicamp Compensation Works
1. Per-Diem Stipends:
Players receive a daily or weekly allowance for participating in required minicamp activities. 
Rookies / First-Year Players: Earn around $1,700–$2,000 per week. 
Veterans: Receive higher stipends, typically around $2,900–$3,500 per week. 
Teams also cover or provide housing, transportation, and meals during mandatory camps.

Decided last week after they found a way to carve LSU out of the crowd and single LSU and Kiffin out.
