I'm a Seahawks fan and get to one or two games a season, but it's not like Pete Carroll didn't slink out of USC ahead of sanctions or anything ... he's not exactly an honourable, by the rules kind of guy.
That said, everybody in the NFL is bending the rules ... the 'Hawks and Pats get hammered because they do stand out for doing things their own way and they're just too successful at it. If they had a rep like the Steelers or were as pathetic as the Jags or Bucs, the league wouldn't lift a finger.
