Was "vacated" necessary? Seriously, for a fanbase that detests the past thrown in their face, did it add much to an otherwise accurate post?
By and large, UConn fans don't mind the past. Especially 1999, 2004, 2011, and 2014. What UConn fans don't like are misinformed sports writers who seem to have an agenda and opposing fanbases.

What was reported? The myth. What is used by opposing fanbases? The myth.
Subject: Fiesta Bowl Attendance
Fact: UConn made the Fiesta Bowl based on holding tie-breaker advantages vs. two other teams.

What was reported? The myth. What is used by opposing fanbases? The myth.
As I said, UConn fans (By and Large) own their past.
