He's guilty of equipment tampering.

The NFL has a set penalty for tampering with footballs and its a $25,000 fine.

But there is a bit of a loophole that allows the Commissioner to impose "other penalties" if he sees fit.

Like a 4-game suspension.
Loss of a 1st round draft pick.
Loss of a 4th round draft pick.
And a million dollar fine.

The commissioner had discretion -- and he used it.

He’s guilty by virtue of someone else’s assumption he probably knew something...
