Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of getting to chat with Betty Wiseman, a living Belmont legend at her home in Brentwood. She was most hospitable, and the interview had been lighthearted until I asked her a certain question. “What does Belmont mean to you?” Wiseman fell silent. A tear fell from her eye. As my graduation date looms nearer and nearer, I can relate. Wiseman told me when student-athletes are at Belmont, every time they put on a jersey or an article of clothi
