obviously him being a former player is not a reason he can't coach there. See: kirby

his presence through football camps and foundation. The NCAA considers it an unfair recruiting advantage.


I don't understand this?

Lattimore can still speak to the team and be on the program’s periphery, but he can’t be named to a staff position. There would be nothing to stop Muschamp from hiring Lattimore as a coach,


wait wut?

if that's the case then Lynn Swann should be asked to resign

The story is very short on detail, but I think the crux of the issue is that Lattimore doesn't want be a full time coach. He's got a foundation that helps young players through camps and such and doesn't want to give that up.

The NCAA apparently thinks that his status as a former player and being on staff could be used to steer players to USC.

I see their point, but to counter that argument, if he wants to do that then he'll do it whether he's a part time staffer or not.

WG... this is NCAA related. You don't try to understand it. Hell you avoid any attempt to understand it.

The NCAA is the path to madness. When Nietzsche was talking about not staring into the abyss least it stare back at you he was having a vision of the NCAA rules.

USCe should just nod, agree with the NCAA, and then hire Lattimore to some other position in the Athletic Department.
