http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.co ... -transfer/“In regards to the events that took place over the past weekend, the university was made aware of the situation shortly after the incident occurred. It is our understanding there is a thorough investigation underway by local law enforcement and we will cooperate fully as we take these matters seriously. In addition, facts are being gathered within the athletic department in order to provide assistance. We have high expectations for the conduct of WSU student-athletes, and treat any alleged allegations with the utmost transparency. The WSU athletic staff is in constant communication with the Office of the President and the Office of Student Life to ensure that university leadership is aware of the continuing investigation by local law enforcement. We will refrain from further comment until the findings of the investigation are complete.”

I think you might be overreacting based on four words with no context said by the associate AD. I guess that's understandable given what's happened at some programs around the country, but I think your being a little reactionary.
My guess is the conversation went like this:
The reporter asked something like, "Is there going to be any football related discipline to these players at this time?"
and he responded, "It's a team matter." WSU also does not publicly comment on player dismissals or their status when it comes to legal investigations.
