coach manansala is seriously underrated. ust should give him another chance. i thought he did well with what he had in his only year in the UAAP.

I'm not sure if many are aware, the UAAP will have it's own stadium in Pasig by 2027 (est).

A big part of why games in schools are difficult to pull off is traffic and parking.

how does this project affects Akari's backing on Adamson? i'm a bit worried to be honest.

so their logo in our men's team jersey is just nominal i guess.

In Adamson MBTs Uniform, you can only see Puregold, Davies Paints, Stonerich (a construction company), and Anta. There is no Akari.

I don't think that UAAP will approve the application of PUP if ever they apply. First things first, you need money. Does the PUP have the funding to cover atleast half of the sports events in the UAAP? I am referring to the expenses of getting athletes, maintaining facilities and conducting practices outside the Metro or even abroad.

UP is fortunate since they have tons of wealthy alumni that serve as boosters plus Jonvic and the corporate backing (Robinson's I believe). How about PUP? AFAIR, the students burned their school's chairs when their Admin decided to increase the tuition at P12 per unit.

IMO, I only see these three schools to have the most realistic chance to be part of UAAP should they apply - Mapua, Lyceum and San Beda.

Last two questions, is the PUP willing to recruit FSAs? Do they have a high school program?

Students of pup will revolt if they find out how much the university is spending for their basketball team lol.

PUP is still a hotbed for student activism

[gospursgo]

Last i checked they are lol haha but its already taken. I do see some canine looking thing in that logo that recently leaked

Enderun is not a university. Same reason why Letran will never be part of the UAAP, whether they like it or not.

UA&P and CEU do not have high school programs which is a must have to join UAAP or NCAA. The same reason why Lyceum was initially rejected by the NCAA.

Would AU have a chance? Although their basketball program is in doldrums, their other disciplines are doing well like volleyball, cheer leading and others.

Like someone mentioned, they're not really backing Adamson.

The Tiu siblings of Akari I believe all went to DLSU. I think the only school team they are really backing is DLSU women's football. Probably thought that the men's basketball booster club is already crowded.

The planned UAAP stadium can be a start of a trend. If the naming rights become Akari Stadium, it along with MOA might be the start of stadiums being built and named for sponsors like in the US. Hopefully, major provinces also follow suit.
