The common thought seems to be that the refs just do a quick once over on the balls and not a precise inspection, measuring the PSI etc. Sounds like this is something the refs are aware of and let pass.
There is sure to be a dramatic overhaul of this inspection system after this... possibly even going back to the NFL supplying all balls. A lot of QBs may hate D’Qwell Jackson after this. I read an article about what goes into preparing Eli Manning's footballs- a huge process that takes months.
Here it is. Very interesting-
