re: Why are LSU players being isolated as being pros?

Fair point, but again, the SEC has already allowed players to compete at other universities that previously signed professional contracts.
LSU is being isolated because LSU is better at wielding the tools the of the conference created.
from everything i've read, its the "details" of the word "contract" that matters.
the 2 ole miss guys signed UDFA contracts, and from what i've read, one of them for a nice chunk. but he never practiced due to injury and only received $190, because the contract he signed didn't go in effect unless he made the 53 man roster. so by sankey's definition, he signed a pro contract....but to anyone else with half a brain, he never made an nfl team and that contract is not binding since he didn't make the 53 man roster.
then there's the texas OL. I've read he never signed anything.....but if you read some of the NFL stipulations to the various camps, everyone signs something, for liabilities, travel etc. is that not a contract?
so its the splitting of hairs between the 2 types of contracts signed, and of course for the SEC its easier to say the 2 Ole Miss guys were NFL players based on their newest theory of resolution. lol
ALL of that to say, my position on all of this is, adhere to all TRO's, or, don't adhere to any TRO's. the court rulings are what's making this even muddier than the muddy arse NCAA rules and bylaws and the timing in which they implemented the 5/5 while excluding 2022 class.

An NFL Rookie Training Camp Agreement (officially called an Injury Protection Waiver or Rookie Participation Agreement) is a simplified, temporary CONTRACT. It allows unsigned, drafted rookies to participate in early team workouts, minicamps,
In addition, I understand that mini-camp / waiver-agreement participants are also considered W2 employees, during that time.
So, the SEC making exceptions for mini-camp only participants (eg. Longhorn OL) seems arbitrary.

It's splitting hairs.

The SEC suing us to hold onto their moral authority which already shot out the window a while back
