One thing that I think should be added is if a team in previous years 'escaped' this penalty. I haven't dug into any of that stuff, but it seems quite a few people are pretty sure some teams went over the salary cap in s1 and s2.
I propose that, going back to the salaries of those years, that the net amount over the cap should be punishable this season by the same rule. For example:
Cap = 65
S1: 67
S2: 60
S3: 65
Penalty going into s3: 0
Cap = 65
S1: 67
S2: 67
S3: 65
Penalty going into s4: 4 x 1.5 = 6
Cap = 65
S1: 65
S2: 60
S3: 69
Penalty going into s4: 0
I think I made my point. I know you have already made your decision, but I think this is a fair way of distributing the punishment. After this season, we obviously have the rule in place and should not have to redo this.
