BC, let me ask you this then, if vacating wins and the NC from 2013 was "too severe" for allowing an assistant to throw non-sanctioned parties for 4 years that entice recruits to come to the school, lie about and obstruct the investigation, what exactly should the punishment be? 
Louisville collected $15 mil in money and then sanctioned themselves on a "one year ban to the tournament" for this. We don't know how many of those recruits would have chosen other schools if they weren't enticed. That, I think is the point-non authorized recruiting that created an unfair advantage. With the goal of winning an NC, if you don't punish the school by taking it away, then all schools will cheat as brazenly because the gain far outweighs the penalty. As it was, even being caught with this deplorable act and having received the penalty that they appealed last June, the coaches still authorized payments to at least one recruit, so they clearly think cheating is the way to go to meet the ends.
