With these stories using "sources" they don't need to know the policy.  They can just say they have sources that say the internal policy was violated.  The journalist not only gets an easy article but they also get a much easier way to say outrageous things.   Disgruntled or regretful ex-players can then be used as sources for all kinds of accusations.
 
For instance, in my hypothetical, they could have used Billy E as the ex-player and he could have said something along the lines of "I know there were a lot of players who did stuff and they still got to play.  They violated the policy and played but I didn't".  And Billy E may not really even know the whole policy.  But by referencing sources they can skirt the whole issue.
 
But since SU self reported something, it could be that they found something that they wanted changed in their internal policy.  Their internal policy may have been worded poorly and they acted on substance over style, adjusted their internal policy and reported the infraction.
