Why should he participate and cooperate with this kangaroo court? Maybe they investigated the officials he might cooperate. In all of those other case cited there were serious laws broken and/or rules infractions causing bodily harm and even death to people. This involves a ball being under inflated. And don't forget. ten balls were between 12.4 and 12.49, one ball was around 11.5 and the twelfth ball was t 12.5 exactly. We're talking about a ball being under inflated by a pound as opposed to coaches offering financial reward to players who injure opposing players or people being killed.
The problem here is the officials not doing their job properly and teams having to go against the rules to protect themselves from the referees.

Where did you see those numbers? What I have read is that they only measured 11 Pats footballs at half time. They skipped the one Indy intercepted. From this link:
Finally, the halftime PSI numbers are known | ProFootballTalk
Prioleau’s measurements were, in PSI: (1) 11.8; (2) 11.2; (3) 11.5; (4) 11.0; (5) 11.45; (6) 11.95; (7) 12.3; (8) 11.55; (9) 11.35; (10) 10.9; and (11) 11.35.
Blakeman’s measurements were, also in PSI: (1) 11.5; (2) 10.85; (3) 11.15; (4) 10.7; (5) 11.1; (6) 11.6; (7) 11.85; (8) 11.1; (9) 10.95; (10) 10.5; and (11) 10.9.
On another report I also read that they measured 4 balls from the Colts. On one referees gauge 3 of the 4 were under inflated...
