People rarely get caught cheating the first time they cheat. It is likely they were doing this for a long time and were finally caught. So the pats have had prior winning seasons that could very well be partially due to cheating. If they had been cheating in the past they would have made way more money then they were fined because of the cheating. To further help them by having prior winning seasons they were more likely to keep their good players while attaining others through free agency.
Can you imagine what would happen if the punishment for robbing a bank was $1000 and you got to keep any money you stole? If they cheated in prior seasons the fine and the draft pick were not nearly enough. If others are doing it I would support harsh punishments against them also. Also their coach should have a 5 year ban at least!
