I agree with that completely. In fact, I may have mentioned quite similar earlier in this thread: "Additionally, I think any refs caught casino gambling will get a slap on the wrist with a "stern" warning not to do it again."

I would also not give any of those officials a play-off assignment during their probationary period.
