Does the "they didn't sign a contract-they just attended camp" camp lack self awareness?

The Texas OL
The South Carolina kicker
The Oklahoma DL
2/3 who had all intentions of being NFL football players this fall. Nobody attends NFL mini camp for shits and giggles. These guys wanted to be pros.
You people clutch your pearls over "fORmer nFl plAYeRS" infiltrating your precious collegiate athletics with your millionaire "student athletes".
Literally lose your mind over "former pro players" coming back to college while in the same breath defend failed former pro players coming back to college

Strong Cope, counter argument though, get lawsuited.

Sankey said if they leave school to become a pro, they lose their chance to return to school.
On the stand.

Tejas needs a failed Cleveland Brown to make their OL better

Which is yet another contradiction

You don’t attend an NFL mini camp without signing a waiver and notice of compensation. That itself is a contract and by SEC and Stanley’s own testimony, a player that is a professional.

So give me an example before the season of college football players attending NFL minicamps, practicing with NFL players, and then coming back to college?

Sort of like Wright getting feedback and being cut?
These guys weren't given the chance to return if they wanted to pursue football after school because of the NCAA's timing. The guys who didn't pursue football get to return (oh and the guys who did pursue it but didn't sign as much paperwork).

They were paid to be at those camps . End of argument

None of them should be eligible.

And that's obviously why LSU is in the forefront of all this mess. Because of the selective outrage and the fricking nerve to sue a founding member
I can't speak for all LSU fans, but I'm completely fine with telling all the 2022 athletes to frick off
But all of them.
Not just the ones who were actually good to stay throughout the preseason. Why the frick should the Texas OL get to run back to college? Because he sucks too much to cut in the NFL?

…and yet we aren’t being sued by the SEC while facing disbarment. Teehee

That's true, they presumably received liability insurance, a chance to make an NFL squad, maybe some transportation, housing, food, use of equipment and other amenities. But even if they paid for every single thing out of pocket, the distinction is irrelevant. All of those players acted with the same intent, get a new job because I've been told I'm no longer eligible in college.
What is relevant is that the players' actions were driven by NCAA rulings. Dividing and discriminating on the basis of how much progress they made in 3 or 4 months of their new job search is an insane defense strategy. It's not even a strategy, it's a desperation move in hopes of finding some new source of ineligibility after your new rule was deemed unfair.

In court today:
Greg Sankey: “When a player leaves and turns pro, they’re pro and shouldn’t be able to return to college sports.” Yet he didn’t say a contract was required and couldn’t define what a “pro athlete” is.
Current SEC rules: SEC football eligibility rules don’t simply say “turned pro.” They reference signing a pro contract, being on a pro roster, or entering the NFL Draft without proper withdrawal.
These players who went to camp entered the draft without withdrawing. The current SEC rules state that makes them a pro.

The obvious motive is that Sankey has some sort of weird hatred/obsession with LSU. Which is funny because LSU fans have been complaining for years about the perception of bias from the SEC office. The bizarre attacks from the SEC office has pretty much confirmed that there’s actual bias against LSU from the SEC.

And the mistimed 5/5 rule, gives them a 5th year. Some of those not good enough may not have declared for the draft because they would have had an option to return for another year of eligibility.
