The questions to ask each year. What is the difference between UD and Villanova, or other highly successful Catholic colleges?

If you are an alumnus of Tufts or Lehigh, for example, two top-tier NE private universities a solid notch above VU academically....and you live in Ala, Tex, CA, Kansas, or Ohio,...and you mention that you went to TU or LU you almost surely will be greeted with the blank stare I receive 100% of the time when I mention I went to UD. But say Villanova in any of those states or others and the school's name recognition will be instant....athletic success at the highest level is that important.

Villanova's basketball reputation and resulting institutional recognition means as much to the school, if not more, than anything else. Jay Wright may decide someday he'd like to coach a pro team. But, VU will never lose him to another school. I'm certain VU would match any offer JW will ever receive. He's got it made and probably knows it.

Having been raised in the shadow of VU, almost went there myself, as did each of my two best friends,...I'm green with envy. What has been achieved at VU is beyond our wildest dreams and ambitions. Great for them, I'm happy for VU (but I'm very envious.).
