Basically, all 32 owners give some power to the league "for the greater good", and if the executive body decrees something everyone has to deal with it. For the Skins to get the "proper" decision they would have to go to court against 30 other owners, and have the judge find them guilty of collusion. In a vacuum, maybe you do that, but in reality, that would be like giving the NFLPA a blank check in the next round of CBA talks, and no owner is going to risk the golden goose, especially not for a 1 year(at this point) cap hit of 18million dollars.
When you think in pure percentages, would you risk your multi billion dollar enterprise for about a relatively easily mitigated/accepted penalty of about 10% of your cap space.
