After more thought - I think Bjork is thinking just go into damage control mode until the punishments are handed down. PR consultants probably advised that being silent is a worse look.
His perspective is likely that it was worth the pain if the facilities are improved, as long as they don't get hammered too bad.... The wins on the field provided momentum to upgrade facilities, which helps the program in the long run.
However, I still can't see how multiple level 1 allegations can be characterized as simple mistakes.
Freeze is going by the playbook. But sometimes I wonder about that relationship as if Bjork is really pulling the strings. Bjork is a pretty young guy.

Well Bjork does have plenty of learning experience in dealing with NCAA infractions. He was in the Miami athletic department during 2003-2005 and he hired one of their former basketball assistants at WKU under a cloud of NCAA improprieties.
WKU Herald 2011
"The NCAA said it had been investigating the Miami situation five months before the Yahoo! report was published. Even so, Bjork said WKU had no inkling that these potential violations were surfacing when they hired Morton.
So, naturally, Bjork said he was "surprised" and "shocked" when he first heard about the allegations."
Then 2 years later: WKU's Jake Morton resigns amid NCAA allegations
