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.
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

Re the comment that Freeze got no responses to his challenge to send any complaints to the Black Bears' compliance dept, he was quoted in his press conference yesterday at the Spring Meetings that "obviously we got a lot". And, yes, that look on Bjork's face when Freeze told Finebaum that he 'even ran that past Bjork first' was priceless. That was most definitely not rehearsed.

Bjork is playing the "I trust our staff 100%" card. If that fails, then he throws them out, seeming to be shocked at any lies he was unaware of.
But Freeze publicly counters with the "I run Everything by Bjork" card, including tweets.
It's fascinating to watch.
