If he had made two collections, tried to submit both and they told him he could only submit one, would that be a punishment too? He tried to submit a collection that did not comply with the rules. He had his receipts. He knew he was over. He got caught and they let him go.
And the fact that the collection that hit the runway was under budget is irrelevant, because it's the submission of the collection that had an advantage over the other collections that is the issue.

Again, I don't know how the rules were written and neither do you. None of the other contestants objected at all to the way the over budget issue was handled, and none of them looked particularly surprised about it. It could say "you are not allowed to present a collection budgeted over $8,000" (as I believe they were written, and as how the show played it out) instead of "you are not allowed to submit a collection budgeted over $8,000. Submission of the collection will occur one day before the presentation of the collection." (as you advocate).
The judges did not have an opportunity to take a look at the over-budget collection, so the extra that Jeffery had brought with him was thoroughly irrelevant to the outcome, except to the extent it counted against him when they were told about it.
