What exactly do they do you if you dont get under the cap? Throw you in football jail? Not let you compete? I mean how would that work if we were just to say, "you know what, were good"?

The NFL is bigger than any one team. A renegade owner will not be successful in the league (i.e. Al Davis). As it is currently structured the NFL is a business unit with its own power structure. It runs games on game day and does the administration work for NFL teams and that includes making sure all the teams play fair. If you don't get under the cap 1) you'll be finned to death, 2) lose draft picks, 3) forfeit games before you even step on the field.
