If plans don’t miscarry, the UAAP and the NCAA, the country’s premier collegiate cage leagues, will merge this coming season as part of the grand centennial founding anniversary celebration of the University of the Philippines.

An NCAA founding member which moved over to UAAP in 1938, said UP is coordinating with the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas for the NCAA-UAAP merger even if it will just be for 2008 when the state university celebrates a historical event.

The NCAA was founded in 1924 on the initiative of Dr. Regino R. Ylanan, a UP physical education professor. The original members were UP, Ateneo de Manila, La Salle, Institute of Accounts (FEU), NU, San Beda, UST and University of Manila.
