When "Old Wabash" was just 22 years old, it rallied the 12 "W" Men, coached by the legendary Robert E. "Pete" Vaughn, to the first-ever National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament Championship. That is why alumnus Greg Castanias '87 was surprised to see that the University of Kansas (his wife Jane's alma mater) was claiming the same title with a banner hanging in Allen Fieldhouse. Greg (with Jane’s grudging support) has donated the funds to create and install a new championship banner at Chadwick Court to honor the 1922 team alongside our 1982 NCAA Champions. As we celebrate both our historic fight song and recognition of these trailblazers, we invite you to join the chorus with your support. To sing the praises of the 12 players who brought home that historic victory, Greg and Jane will contribute an additional $10,000 when this challenge receives 122 gifts on 04.30.25.
