I agree that you've described exactly what happened. My only issue is that is in no way a hack.
They created a page on the site. The fact that they didn't have a link to the URL doesn't mean it wasn't public. It was publicly available the minute they put it up without any security.
It is a BS violation and the frickup was done by the IT guy (instead of Athletic dept) who decided to take the lazy option to fast updating, but it was not a media hack and saying otherwise is just a plain out lie.

Yes. The word "hack" implies that some devious outside source was responsible. Why not just admit a simple mistake was made and quit acting like you are incapable of ever doing anything wrong? It amounts to nothing in the scheme of things so I don't know why it's that hard to admit a mistake.

Actually, yes. I work in the IT field. If I described directly typing an unlinked URL into the address bar as a hack to any of my peers, they'd properly laugh right in my face.
As I said, it is absolute BS that it could even be considered a violation.
