NCAA: South Carolina can't hire Marcus Lattimore other than as a coach (South Carolina)

This one I simply can not explain.

The NCAA has stated that Lattimore cannot join Will Muschamp's staff at USC due to Lattimore's status as a former player and his presence through football camps and foundation. The NCAA considers it an unfair recruiting advantage.

Cloninger notes that Muschamp would be allowed to hire Lattimore as a coach; but Lattimore "has consistently said that he doesn't think he would want to coach in college due to the time demands."

Hmm. This one is a head scratcher. Wouldn't it be a great thing for the student athletes to have such an inspirational former player around the program every day?
