It's a helms national championship look it up. Helms foundation. They were awarded it regardless of what you say or think. Next time they show unc s 6 national championships banners I will look at 1924 banner and think of you and dook and state fans and smile

No the funny part is, I've said a 100 times it is a helms national champion title. Butler played a aau tournament not real college teams. Teams like kansas city teachers . Butler record was 12-7 that year. Unc won southern conference tournament and was 26-0 . Unc played Kentucky, duke, n c state, Maryland, wake, Virginia , south Carolina , Vanderbilt, Alabama, Mississippi state , mercer , Davidson, vmi , elon , alot of these teams 2 times that season and I just named the team's that are playing today. Went 26-0. The helms foundation awarded unc the 1924 helms national champion That's your fact. Look it up

Personally I'm a UNC fan, but I don't discuss the Helms championship. I don't have a problem with the banner hanging at DES but I don't think it should be hanging with the NCAA banners.

Those Helms championships were awards retroactively. I'm not even sure what year UNC and Butler were awarded those championshps. I'm thinking it was in the late 1930's but I didn't look it up just for this comment.

I do think its funny or awkward that no one has mentioned that UNC shared the '24 championship.

Anyway, congrats to the Blue Devils, they had a heck of a team. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next year or two.

They were a awarded championship, it's a helms national championship no matter how much you cry. It's labeled a helms national championship, has the banner to prove it. Unc= 6 national championships, 1 helms, 5 ncaa fact

you have to have competed in a tournament of sort, to be labeled a champion. No tourney was ever held. Your not champion, sorry whenever they say unc has 5 championships it's for a reason.

Quit kidding yourself by its very definition it's not a title or a championship
cham·pi·on·ship
ˈCHampēənˌSHip/Submit
noun
1.
a contest for the position of champion in a sport, often involving a series of games or matches.

No competition nor playoff was run, it's not title nor a championship it can never be, no matter how much your ignorance *** wishes it was... It means no more then the AP POLL..It was awarded for a good season same as the ap poll

All of the sudden? The banner been hanging for years and years and years.you dook fans are funny. Again if your school got awarded one by the helms foundation, why not claim it. I think ncaa should go back 1901-1938 and award the ncaa title to each of the helms champions. Or take away wins and losses from that era like it didn't happen. They count the Wins and losses, but not the champions of that era. Kind of like football awarded the highest ranked team champion. But it is a helms national championship no matter what dook or anyone else says.

Kentucky won the helms and they don't claim it tells you about all you need to know... Plus I think it's funny tarhole fans claim 6 now all of a sudden lol

Why do they count conference titles or wins and losses before 1939? After they weren't ncaa wins. I feel the school has right to claim them because they were the ones awarded one.when a school hasn't even been awarded one how can them or fans debate another school title , when there school hasn't even got one?

It's a Helms national championship, no matter what you say or think. It is . Plus 26-0 won southern conference tournament beat the other top schools head to head. Sorry dook wasn't good enough to be good enough to be considered one. Or sorry Dook sucked for 91 years before winning the big championships .what's funny is state and dook fans saying the helms titles mean nothing. How can you judge when your school was not good enough to be awarded one?

As a matter of fact, Kansas won it in 1922 and 1923. and claim it, making a total of 5 they have won. Kansas and UNC are the only schools that claim it as a national championship.

Kansas has won five national championships. They won in 1922 and 1923 prior to the current tournament structure. Since then, they've also won national championships in 1952, 1988 and 2008. Kansas has won 3 championships - the 1922 and 1923 'titles' were retroactively selected by the Helms Athletic Foundation 20 years later. Most schools (other than Kansas and UNC) correctly choose not to recognize these distinctions as championships.14 championships

They both sound kinda cheesie, don't they?

The only other school I know of that claims the Helms Foundation as a national championship is Kansas, which is natural, after all. UNC claims they are their "sister school, whatever the h E L l that means.

The Helms Foundation also operated a hall of fame for both college sports. Selections prior to 1936 are often disputed as many of them are not derived from actual head-to-head competition and rely on historical documents to interpret champions. Lol in no way is it a national championship of any form lolz funny stuff
