From the article:

"[SIZE=4][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]If schools want to recognize their teams by mentioning the Helms titles and hanging banners, that's their right and prerogative. In fact I believe they certainly should recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of past teams, since most fans of schools would never know about them unless they're mentioned somewhere. But in doing so, schools should be accurate by at least noting that the award is from the Helms Foundation, and preferably provide additional background information about who and how the choices were made, including recognizing the fact that many of the choices were made years or even decades after the fact.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

To suggest or infer that these titles are synonymous with National Championships, as they are known today, is disingenuous at best. This is especially true when dubious assumptions and unsupported claims are used to support this theory or to make Schroeder's picks more important or authoritative than they actually were at the time."
 
I respect that SU/you guys designate them as different. I think UNC pretends they're the same because they're competing with Duke, and KU does it because that way people don't realize that, for all their history, they don't really have THAT many titles.
