I'm saying that in my view, it carries about as much weight as Dexter McCluster compared to an elephant.
If my understanding of the history is correct, the Helms Championship wasn't a tournament, it was a vote.
In addition, not all schools officially recognize third-party national championships that they were selected for.
I'd also be curious to know, if someone could find it for me, how many schools actually had basketball programs at the time.
(not being a smartass, literally can't find the info)
