The body of male college mem­bers useless with scrambled egg (3,3,5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all the kings men

'members useless with scrambled egg' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the body of male college' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'male' could be 'he' (he refers to a man) and 'he' is located in the answer.
'college' could be 'kings' and 'kings' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for all the kings men that I've seen before include "Soldiers" , "who may well have got eggy after accident" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
