I vehemently disagree. You can strike the season from the records, but we still remember that screwjob that was the 2004 season and USC's national title. And if UK has to vacate, we still remember their dominance. We remember Reggie Bush's Heisman. We remember Ryan Mallett throwing a pick in the last few minutes against Ohio St. in the Sugar Bowl and tOSU finally breaking through against an SEC team. The point I'm making is that we acknowledge the win and follow it up with a statement like, "...but they had to vacate it because of <insert reason here>."

A win is a win, vacated or otherwise, and kids will still want to play for a program that wins.

I think you're wrong. People love controversy more than what happens on the court/field, especially in retrospect. At this point, when people think of Bush's Heisman I'd say more remember the scandal than what he did on the field. You're obviously mistaken if you think that more people remember OSU's win over Arkansas rather than the drama that followed it.

If Kentucky gets busted for violations and/or paying Anthony Davis then that will be the story that follows that team, not the championship run. Cal will already be in the NBA at that point though.
