You take away their 2013 championship banner, as well as their 2012 Final Four banner, plus over 100 wins. And considering the number of times they have been in trouble with the NCAA. I mean this really cuts back on their resume. I don't know if they should still be consider an all time Top 10 BB program or not.
Thoughts?

Think I read where the vacated wins took them from top 10 to 27th. Think that about says it all!
 
They want to be us so bad it drove them to cheat their asses off. And Pimptino couldn't stand that Cal was kicking his ass every year so he did whatever it took to try to catch up.
 
All time, I still think UofL is a Top 10 program, barely, but this latest controversy makes their inclusion in the Top 10 a lot tougher. Hookergate is a huge black eye to men's college basketball and it probably drops Louisville down a few spots in the all time top 10 programs.

No. They never were, not because od statistics but because of the huge shadow Kentucky casts over their university. In the other 49 states, louisville barely exist.

Talk to people on any street outside of Kentucky, you'll understand.
 
Having lived most of my life outside of Kentucky (lived in the south, northeast, Midwest, and west coast) I can tell you that nobody cares about UL. When they won their soon to be vacated title it was met with a resounding "Who?". Outside of serious college fans nobody knows or cares who UL is.

They all know Kentucky. Many hate us because of clowns like Cowherd spreading lies that casual fans won't bother to check out but they definitely know we are royalty.

UL has less of a reputation on the west coast than Gonzaga.

On the floor they are top 10 easily. Off the court, they are now challenging Kansas, UCLA, and UNCC as the most corrupt programs of all time.
