Yeah Villanova is pretty bad. I'm going to be a Senior next year there and my experiences with masses on campus have been quite horrible. I was not there for the mass on Saturday, but I was there for Graduation on Sunday.
What you saw on Saturday is basically how masses are celebrated at Villanova. The only differences is that I don't believe they use the wicker baskets during normal Sunday masses, but rather use glass plates.
I know pretty much all of the people who run campus ministry and all of them are either VERY liberal or borderline apostate-heretics. That isn't likely going to change. The Augustinians at Villanova are pretty much the same. All the priests at Villanova are very liberal and/or hold heterodox beliefs. Luckily though most of the priests are very old and the order seems to be gradually dying out as there are next to no vocations. I think they had 3 new priests for the entire Eastern United States last year, and that was considered a good year. I believe there are currently only 4 people who are even officially discerning whether they want to join the Augustinians.
Personally I stay as far away as possible from Villanova University masses. Masses said at Villanova are like a nightmarish version of mass circa-1969 thats gone awry. The sermons are heterodox, the music is corny, and those god-awful banners are attrocious. So I make it a point to attend mass off campus, at either Eastern Rite Churches or Latin Masses in the area.
