At the end of EP4, we find out so Quinn knows that Sage is a Burke. Quinn knows where Sage comes from and asks her to rule with the preps party. Quinn and Tommy only fell out after the preps party and were real friends before that. So you can assume that Tommy also knew that Sage is a Burke.But why would Tommy and Jacob know if it wasn't public knowledge? Quinn is Sage's VP so yes I could understand her knowing while Sage is trying to keep it quiet, Rusty is president of another frat so maybe it's something that needs to be known at that level for some reason (obviously Tybalt knows, we don't know if Magnar knows), but I don't see any logical reason why Tommy and Jacob would know Sage is a Burke if she only uses the name Morgan. If they know because Quinn or Rusty told them then what's to stop Quinn and Rusty telling everyone else, basically neglecting the reason that Sage uses Morgan anyway.
It's clear that DPC had Jacob know so he could point back to the subtle hints like Jacob cockblocking MC with Sage at the party, but then tried to retrospectively walk back Sage's family being public knowledge because he's trying to use the same contrived plot device three times (MC not knowing that Jill is a Royce, MC not knowing that Sage is a Burke, MC not knowing that Lynette was a Burgmeister) and it was getting a bit stupid at this point. So he's come up with the idea that Sage uses Morgan so MC would have no clue she was a Burke even if he knew her surname, but that totally contradicts Jacob knowing that Sage is a Burke right back at the start of the story.
You write about Jacob yourself.
What can stop the people who knew beforehand that Sage is a Burke? Sage can get quite angry, she's fiery. Also, let's not forget that Chad probably knew beforehand that Sage was a Burke.
The reason Sage is trying to hide her Burke last name is explained in EP8 after all. She wants to make it on her own and not rely on the family name like Rusty and Tybalt. Legitimate reason in my opinion.
