Go big or go home.
Listing those 2 separately is really low, and shows your bias. Really, your whole post is an exercise in bloviating.
First, Derick Rose was not found to have cheated by the NCAA. I dare you to prove otherwise. What DID happen is he was sent an NCAA questionnaire to his home in Chicago WHILE HE WAS ON CAMPUS IN MEMPHIS. Big surprise, he didn't answer it by the deadline because he didn't even know it existed, and because of that, he was deemed retroactively ineligible. Pretty low, since the UofM REPEATEDLY confirmed with the NCAA Rose's eligibility up through November.
And that ONE incident results in most of your hits below, noted in bold.

Look. The long and short of it is, Derrick Rose was gonna play D1 somewhere. The powers that be were just pissed that he went to little ol' Memphis.
As for Dana Kirk and the 82-85 run, Here is an article that is pretty damning to Kirk about that stuff. Read it and ask yourself, was this stuff REALLY not happening anywhere else like Villanova, Kansas, St. Johns, etc?

So. If you read all of that, and still conclude that we deserve for our '08 title game appearance and our '85 FF should have been vacated, then why are you not in the streets clamoring for Kansas to be strung up?
