“He (Shula)was still the coach of the Baltimore Colts at the end of the 1969 season, when then-Miami owner Joe Robbie approached him and signed Shula to a contract. The NFL charged the Dolphins with tampering and awarded their first-round pick to the Colts.”

The Dolphins cheated to get Shula. Put asterisks next to their wins.

“The Dolphins cheated to get Shula”

I’m trying to understand how this means Shula cheated at all, much less for the big winning season.
