Imagine what it would take to initiate a conspiracy in which the referees will favor one team over all of the others.

1 - Someone like the commissioner or the head of referees would have to decide to do it. It's taken for granted that they would want it because of tv ratings, but the legal peril would be enormous. Prison awaits for anyone that initiated or took part in any such conspiracy.

2 - The initiator would have to bring other people into that conspiracy. Everyone knows it would be highly illegal and failing to report such communications is also punishable. So, as the initiator, you're taking a huge chance merely by talking to anyone else about putting such a conspiracy into motion.

3 - You and your conspirators must then involve all of the officials. Bringing the officials into the conspiracy involves all of the same dangers. Surely there would be at least SOME honest officials that would not only refuse to take part, but would immediately "blow the whistle" on such conspiracy.

4 - Finally, you need to get everyone to stay quiet about this conspiracy. Nobody can retire and write a tell-all book. I dealt with classified information in the Air Force and one of the biggest problems with keeping classified information secret is that increasing the number of people that know that information exponentially increases the likelihood that the information gets out.

5 - Why would any owner allow such a conspiracy to happen? The real value of owning a team in the NFL is the increase in value of the team. Any conspiracy to push one team over all others could kill the entire league and therefore, every team. Why would any owner risk the $5-$10 BILLION asset they have in their team just for some temporary tv ratings?

There is lots more, but let's leave it at that.
