If you want the attention and want to deal with the media, sure.
If you don't want the attention, you don't deal with the media at all.
You cannot have it both ways.

But, that's exactly what happened. Gordon set the tone. He announced his intention (in the media, if I'm not mistaken), then reneged later. That's certainly not "against the law"; he had a right to do that. But he shouldn't expect everyone would be happy with that decision. Weber based his plans on that commitment, then had to change the plans because Gordon changed his mind. Should Weber lie to the media about that?
We'll just have to disagree on this one. I wonder though - would you disagree as strongly if Gordon had originally committed to Michigan?
