It will be 10 teams in NCAA Season 85

TEN teams will comprise this NCAA Season 85 after three teams have formally accepted their  invitation to appear as guests.

League president Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, of San Beda on Friday made the announcement following the decision of Arellano University, Angeles University Foundation and Emilio Aguinaldo College to accept the conditions that have been previously set by the league regarding their entry in 2009.

“All three schools accepted the invitation and conditions so we’re having 10 teams this season,” Fr. de Jesus, OSB told inboundpass.

In a two-page letter, all three schools agreed to field teams not just in basketball but in five other mandatory sports — football, swimming, volleyball, cheerleading and centerpiece athletics — with an option of joining other disciplines on a voluntary basis.

Arellano, AUF and EAC also agreed to pay a guest fee amounting to P1.5 million plus a bond of P500,000, which will be refunded at the conclusion of the season provided none of them will not incur any penalties.

The guest teams would have to abide by the NCAA constitution and by-laws, ground rules and all other league rules and regulations and respect the decisions of the Policy Board and Management Committee chaired by Fr. De Jesus and Jose Mari Lacson, respectively, of host San Beda College.

In case of legal disputes, the school athletes, coaches and other team officials must agree to arbitrate any and all cases that may arise from fielding a team in Season 85. Fr. De Jesus quickly stressed that being guest teams is entirely different from having member-school status.

“The Policy Board, by inviting your school to field guest teams in Season 85, is not admitting your school as a member of the NCAA or giving due course to your application,” said Fr. De Jesus.

“The process of selecting additional NCAA members is entirely separate and distinct from the fielding of guest teams and this invitation is not a precedent in future seasons,” he further added.

Fr. De Jesus also said that Philippine Christian University (PCU), which took an indefinite leave of absence this year, may reapply this season for inclusion in Season 86.

    wow. Angeles University Foundation from Pampanga is a guest team this season? ang layo ng byahe nila ha. then again, considering na deretso ang byahe nila dahil sa NLEX, they can probably make it to the game venues in an hour provided there’s no traffic. as for the student spectators, marami nman mayaman na de-kotseng students ang AUF so kahit pa2no meron din nman mano2od from their school. :)

    Parang kinakwartahan lang yung 3 teams. Pag maging member na, another bayad? When PCU re-applies next year, bayad na naman? Mukhang pera pera na
    naman ang nangyayari. Whoever’s silly idea this is ought to get a big kick in the ass.

    this is would be a blessing in disguise for the NCAA. I think nung early years ng NCAA mga 1920’s-1930’s umabot ng teams lang AdMU, UM, SBC, UST, UP, NU, DLSU, Institute of Accounts (FEU), Letran, JRC, Mapua… Tas natapyasan sila ng 5 (UST-UP-NU Big 3 then with FEU later for UAAP); UM sariling nagbolt-out!
    Ngayon 10 teams na… Sana from the title of the association itself na “NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION” maging broad ang members ng NCAA Hindi lang hanggang sa AUF.
    Good luck na lang sa Arellano, EAC at AUF…

    @jamesknight13

    lolz! pwede pero di gagawin ng NCAA yan, hindi sila kikita dun opening pa lang yun. ang mga laban na mataas ang ratings at crowd grower ay hinuhuli ng NCAA tignan niyo this past 3 seasons (season 82-84), laging last game ang Letran-San Beda. syempre kasi sila yung inaabanggan maglaban palagi.

    about sa 10 teams pala. so paano ang opening? 5 games in 1 day? kawawa yung pang last, halos hatniggabi na sila matatapos.

    wow! expected na mahirap gumawa ng ncaa issue niyan dahil tatlong guest schools! and goodluck pala sa mga taga AUF! hahaha! layo ng pupuntahan niyo para lang manuod ng game at para sa incentive sa p.e. pero it’s worth it naman e. maeenjoy niyo manuod ng NCAA! w00t! season 85! Can’t wait!

    tama ka knight! pano kaya yun? halos late na matatapos. diba 10 nga natapos nung opening nung 84 tapos last pa CSB vs PCU. adi walang manunuod masyado nun. ang tagal maghihintay. sana gawing two days opening ng NC!

    I hope the three teams will be very competitive and not mere patsies to the stronger teams. Arellano has what it takes to enter the final four and even beyond, but can they do it without coach Isaac who’s now in the PBA?

    sir Josef ano po bang rules/conditions ng NCAA sa mga ininvite na schools? maglalaro lang sila as guest schools pero yung W/L record ng member schools hindi magbabago kapag sila ang kalaban? parang exhibition game ang labas kapag sila ang kalaban.

    Sigurad0ng maganda ang ncaa ngay0n dahil maraming team pero ang layo naman ng angeles eh di ga2st0s pa sila para sa transp0rtati0n. Siguro kaya din nagdagdag para marami ang man0od ng laro di tulad ng sa uaap na laging puno ang araneta kahit hindi ateneo la salle ang game!

    @ MAsAkeR,
    Ynares Gym na lang, o kaya iyung Rizal Memorial Coliseum ang pasabugin mo. Ang papangit ng mga venue na iyon eh. Very low class, parang NCAA =)
