It does make more sense if they are just dividing the distance by C. I’m guessing the journalist just didn’t realize that it would make any difference.

If it’s true, I’m not sure it really is a violation of relativity, after all, wasn’t the speed of light chosen kind of arbitrarily as the limit? I think the important thing is that there is a velocity limit, not what the limit is based on, so they would probably just have to recalculate things with the speed of neutrinos as the limit (until they discover a faster particle).
