Next up...our Padres Game Party
The Villanova Basketball season may not have turned out the way we
would have liked with the first round loss to Kentucky. Summer time is
busy season for the Villanovans in San Diego.
On tap for April is:
Lenten Community Eucharist and Breakfast
Padres Baseball Game and Party Downtown
Since it's the start of our "season" here in San Diego, I thought I'd give you a shot of the fight song I found on YouTube:
Rich Morgan, Class of 1991, wrote me today with a request:
Fellow Alumni,
I started this online petition hoping to gather an impressive number of signatures to convince Villanova's administration to name the basketball court in the Pavilion the Paul Arizin Court.
I tried the direct route, but was met with some opposition since the university can make some money by selling naming rights to buildings, courts, etc.. Many universities have named their basketball courts after a player or coach who was special to them: Duke, Syracuse, UCLA, LaSalle to name a few.
Paul Arizin's life is an example for current students and future generations. I hope you will join me in my efforts.
My response, as an alumnus and not a Chapter President, was:
I'm a huge fan of Paul Arizin's but I support the university on this
issue. I think it's more important to generate a revenue source to
keep Jay Wright from being courted by the Sixers et al.
I admire
what you're doing and would consider donating an annual sum to the
naming rights campaign should you strike a financial deal with the
University.
I hope you'll take my polite decline in the same
spirit that I took your valiant effort. I know that we both want the
best for Villanova Basketball.
Brian Brady, 1990
As a Chapter President, I think this topic worthy of discussion and offered Rich Morgan our weblog as a forum; he graciously accepted.
Am e-mail went out to our alumni list announcing our Alumni Lenten Dinner (click link for more information).
We have a great initial response of 10 . That means we only have 15 spots left. Dinner is $13 and children under 12 are free.
Email Brian Brady at azbrady@alum.villanova.edu to secure your reservation.
