Jeff,
No, the ejection isn't going to be rescinded. However, the school may choose to add their own punishment, as I pointed out in post #7 of this thread.

As an example, some schools think that a one game suspension is more than enough for a momentary outburst. They may wish to add on if it was the F-bomb followed by "you", or perhaps preceded by "you mother..".

At the time that the AD took the call, he presumably has no way to know if the ejection report will include the detail and color necessary to decide if additional punishment is necessary.
