Fantasy Football Owner Admits to Collusion

Q: An owner who is out of the playoff race, and not picked up a single player all season just accepted 2 trades:

1.  He sends DeAngelo Williams in return for Felix Jones, Pierre Thomas, and Steelers D/ST.
2.  He sends Vincent Jackson and Rivers for McNabb, Santana Moss, Bowe, and Hightower.

I asked the owner if he felt these trades would help his team.  He admitted to giving up on the season and that he decided to accept any and all trades.

I explained it to the league and I am getting a lot of flack about it from the owner who would have got DeAngelo.

Was it right to veto these trades?  I feel an owner giving up on the season and accepting and and all trades would ruin the integrity of the league.

Thanks in advance and have a Blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours.

A: Typically when reviewing trade disputes we compare average points per week, rankings by position, rosters of the teams involved, etc.  None of that is necessary, however, when one of the owners admits to collusion.

The decision to veto this trade was the only decision.  The team receiving Williams is not paying a fair price for him which in effect gives that team an unfair advantage over the rest of the teams in your league.
