Helms is an oddity. It's a retroactive award that very few schools actually count. For instance, Kentucky does not count theirs. On the other hand, second rate programs such as UNC will hang banners for them (perhaps to offset the impending reduction in NCAA titles). I wouldn't trust a Helms trophy. That said, it's a hell of a lot more legitimate than the one LSU claims.
Kansas claims 2 of them.
Edit: And UNC didn't hang a banner for 1924 until Duke tied them in NCAA titles back in 01.

Right. Kansas and Carolina are second tier programs. As borne out by their claiming Helms trophies. I don't make the rules.
