As homer pointed out, I think this is a slightly different situation. Hakstol and Roebuck aren't really viewed as the administration, so I think it is easier for them to state personal opinions as opposed to Faison who is part of the administration.
But to answer your question, I have to say that I personally thought it was very unprofessional when Roebuck made his comment about him rather having the name than getting into the Summit League. It is one thing for him to think it, it is entirely different for him to say it to the media when we are trying to get into said conference.
