MANILA, Philippines -- As of this season, the 92nd in the league's history, the NCAA only has four mandatory sports: basketball, swimming, track and field, and volleyball.
The most recent addition to that list was volleyball which was installed there just this year. All the other sports from the total of 14, meanwhile, are non-mandatory – ergo, not all 10 member schools participate in them.
That is all set to change beginning next year, if the league’s management committee is to be believed. “Every year, we will add a mandatory sport like we did volleyball this year,” committee chair Mari Lacson told ABS-CBN Sports.
Explaining the rationale behind their decision, Lacson shared that, from his point of view, only College of St. Benilde and San Beda College have fully-formed athletic programs. “It’s only fair for all member schools to maintain all the sports. It’s only force all member schools to complete their programs,” he said.
