It's a PR move. LSU wants him on the team.

I think you're right to a degree. I'm sure he had a chat with Coach Miles and was told he had to show he was serious about straightening up before his rejoining the team would be considered for 2013. I think this is one of the things he decided he had to do to show Coach Miles he was serious about cleaning his act up. I don't think he would have done this on his own.
