It should be, but the NCAA already said they won't do it.  Plus, the games were still played.  Vacating wins doesn't change any of that.

Oh, I do not know.  When the NCAA forced USC to rescind their victories over the Reggie Bush scandal, USC said they did not lose the 2006 Rise Bowl-because the game was vacated.

It's true that the fan base of the guilty team isn't likely to completely accept the meaning of the punishment, but that doesn't really matter. The games were played, but they weren't played with the structure and rules that legitimized the games. Everyone knows that (even the guilty). Publicly acknowledging it is necessary for maintaining legitimacy.

Does anyone care about what the NCAA thinks?

It's not what the NCAA as such thinks; rather, it's what Michigan's peers think, and they think there's no doubt Michigan blatantly cheated. The scale of this is so much bigger than any other sign stealing operation known of or alleged to this point that it requires a collective response. Like it or not, at this point, the NCAA represents the institutions in question.
