What's the point of vacating?

Sources: NCAA may 'vacate' Memphis Tigers victories - ESPN

The article says that the NCAA will likely make Memphis vacate its Final Four appearance and its 38-win season.

WHO CARES?!?!?!

If they aren't going to impose any financial penalties against the school or the coach, then what is the point?

Personally, I believe that for each game that a team must forfeit the person who was the head coach should be suspended WITHOUT pay for a game. So if Calipari's Memphis team is stripped of those 38 wins two seasons ago, then he should have to serve a 38-game suspension and not get paid for it. Memphis should have to return any revenue from their NCAA tournament games to be divided equally amongst the other NCAA tournament teams, and the school should be fined a certain amount for its regular season games based upon what revenue was generated for those.

If the NCAA were to make the schools and the coaches generate their money according to the regulations and not violate them, then this stuff would get cleaned up. Until it tied to the money, no one will care.
