Vanderbilt already ranks high as a big winner in NCAA on the field, in the classroom and in healing

The continued rise of Vanderbilt University football has been the most exciting sports story in the state, but Saturday's big win over Rice just confirmed the championship direction of the institution.

A record of 3-0 in NCAA Division I Football for the 'Dores should be enough to crack into the top 25. Won't that be a heady accomplishment.

But the bigger picture continues to be that football success can go with excellence in the classroom and miracles in the medical center. Vanderbilt continues to be a city on a hill in Nashville. Now its light shines just a bit brighter from the football stadium. And we're all the more excited and satisfied by it.
