If they had done this then the Cheats in all likelihood wouldn't have gone back to cheating.

The fact that the Saints' bountygate induced harsher penalties than spygate is still laughably absurd.
Saints lost their HC, GM, Asst. HC, and DC on top of losing consecutive 2nd-round picks.
Patriots lost a 1st... and then when they got busted again in 2019, they lost a 3rd.
The money part is a joke anyway, but the fact that they got busted a
second time and the fine only increased to basically the rate of inflation is hilarious.
