Auburn commits minor NCAA violation, blames the media

My understanding is that once it's been published, it stays out there unless you go to extreme measures to have it completely removed.

Exactly. If you ever notice, nearly every major college athletics program will do this about once a year. They put out this laundry list of silly secondary violations that have accumulated throughout the past year or so, and the penalties typically range from "don't do it again," to "will attend a refresher course on NCAA rules." The most severe ones might result in a loss of a few phone calls or campus visits.
Most of the violations, you wonder how it's even a violation and some aren't their fault at all.
Hell, I think I could've gotten one school a violation once. I was walking on the field before a football game on a day they had a bunch of recruits on campus. All of the recruits, a couple hundred of them, were on the sideline watching warm-ups. I saw a couple of guys from my town, said hello and chatted for about 30 seconds. That's actually an NCAA violation -- recruits aren't supposed to have any contact with the media on those visits.

You're costing us scholarships!

I thought the rule was they couldn't facillitate any contact between media and recruits. If that's not the case than I've helped players break NCAA rules close to a hundred times.

Not sure the exact wording, but I do remember there were notices in all of our game notes saying that recruits were on campus, and NCAA rules prohibited them from having any contact with the media on that day. Now, that probably means no interviews and the school worded it that way to make it clear. And what I did wasn't an interview by any means. It was just exchanging pleasantries and a "what are you doing here?"
Who knows how the school and the NCAA would've interpreted it, though.
