If the balls were under-inflated, there is no way that Brady wouldn't know(and probably Belicheck too).
But, after getting caught red-handed with tapes and the light punishment received from the Spygate fiasco, the Pats probably figured, if that's the worst the NFL will do when caught taping practices, then why not cheat in other respects--what's the worst that could happen.

... and a potential loss of draft pick will not be as detrimental to the Pats as others. Say what you will, Belichek knows how get make what he has work.... now creating a more NCAA like punishment.. (no Super Bowl no playoffs next year etc...) would have a much greater affect. Fines don't seem a problem either...
