Why is Rivals trying to sell me 7x UNCheat championship gear?

Our athletic department should start recognizing our 1933 and 1954 Helms titles publicly. We have 10 National Championship, 8 NCAA Championships. Might as well claim our 2 Helms titles if UNC and Kansas are going to also.
Uk continues to play the good guy role when we could easily claim 10. Let's just keep getting slapped around all over the place. The program of Barnhart I expect nothing less. Pitiful.
Here's the funny/sad/pathetic thing about this:
There's no real media backlash against UNC or KU for doing this. BUT, if UK did start doing it, we'd become the laughing stock. They'd make a freakin' 30 for 30 about it.

Cheating and claiming Helms titles are getting North Carolina praise and acclaim, good guys finish last it seems.
We have 7 Helms titles.

We are 15 time National Champions!
We may as well start claiming them... the bullfeces NCAA appears to be determined to keep us from getting any more. Always putting UK on the toughest side of the bracket, and if that doesn't work... send in the hatchet man ref to do the job.
Yeah... 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah... 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UK has TWO Helms National Championships in 1933 and 1954. Other Helms recognitions came in the years UK won national titles. If you go into the UK official Media Guides it national championships 8 NCAA and the 2 Helms. You could go back to the NIT Championships when they were bigger than NCAA.
But by going on how UNCheat and Kansas claim their Helms national championships, I absolutely think UK should count the Helms also which takes it to 10 National Championships. It was an honor bestowed on two of our teams and we should make a point to the National media who are willing to use the Cheats and Jayhawks use of those titles that we are counting ours too

It's important to recognize the distinction in sport between a Championship and a Title.
A Championship is won on the field of play against direct competition. A Title is awarded by an organization to a team for perceived merit. Winning a Championship always includes a Title. Being granted a title is an honorary achievement and doesn't infer a championship.
I'm glad we only count our Championships!
If other schools want to count their "titles" then they should say "National Titles" and not "National Championships". If we want to count our Helms, I'd only include the 1933 title before the NCAA Championship was established in 1939. We have "9 National Titles", and we have "8 National Championships".
The situation in football, of course, is MUCH worse. There were no championships before the BCS/CFP era. So it's a nightmare trying to keep up with the "Titles" granted by various foundations and polls claimed by Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan, etc.

Went to U.K. Game a couple of years ago in Chapel Hill and they claimed and played up the Helms titles all over their video board!!
