As an alumnus I share everyone’s enthusiasm over Villanova’s victory over Kansas and Notre Dame. However, I feel compelled to take issue with Mr. Consuegra’s labeling Villanova as “primarily a basketball school.” As Villanovans we should be aware that our alumni include presidents of universities, major politicians, astronauts, speech writers, lawyers, doctors, and yes, athletes in all major sports. I hope everyone appreciates the arena of academic excellence afforded to us by Villanova University. I encourage everyone to continue their unwavering support of the basketball team. Similarly, I wish to see a similar pride as we, as a Villanova community, reflect on our storied past while boldly engaging the future.
