dafork? Seems like they could hire him as a "support staff" and he can do w/e the hell they want him to, right? I mean, aren't there like assistant strategic coke bottle placement coordinator support staff members for Saban? Who gives a shite if they previously played for the university. :|
ETA: Hmm. Seems additional comments have tied the issue back to camps that he runs outside, but I have a hard time buying that one. I mean in that scenario, couldn't all of Mark Richt's old mission trips have been considered potential recruiting violations if we ever grabbed a player from Haiti? Ultimately, is there any doubt that Lattimore would be steering players to USC if he were to steer at all? I genuinely don't even think he would unless the kid wanted to go there to begin with anyways. Dumb shite is dumb.

i think it's a perfectly logical decision by the ncaa.

Why do you have a hard time buying it when, despite being poorly written, that's exactly what the story says.
247 Sports put it this way:
The former running back, who runs The Marcus Lattimore Foundation and runs several football camps, interacts with recruits and prospects and it is considered an unfair advantage.
As far as I know, Richt wasn't holding football camps in Haiti. The camps are the hangup. If Lattimore would stop them, there wouldn't be an issue.
As far as your comments about steering, I completely agree. I don't see him doing that.
