[edit] Athletics or Athetic?

The article says athletics, but the logo says athletic. Should the Article be renamed University Athletic Association of the Philippines?


[edit] Founding Members

FEU is a founding member. Here's why:

The Big 3 as it was called became a success and on April 6, 1932, its Article of Agreement was renewed. It was also during this time that these three universities seceded from the NCAA. The big 3 continued for the next six years until the Board of Directors of the UP Alumni Association suggested to then UP President Jorge C. Bocobo that a new inter university athletic be instituted. Having taken initiative, first with the NCAA and then with the Big 3, it was only natural that the UP again take the reins of leadership to organize a university athletic association. The representatives of the three universities together with the Far Eastern University, which was already dominating the sports scene of the period, met at the PAAF Office. They formally organized the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on September 27, 1938. From: http://www.uaapgames.com/uaaphistory.shtml

From the paragraph I concluded:

  1. NU, UP and UST seceded from the NCAA due to commercialization.
  2. NU, UP and UST founded the Big Three league.
  3. The Big Three league was dissolved.
  4. The Big Three then referred to NU, UP and UST.
  5. FEU is not a part of the Big Three.
  6. The Big Three, together with FEU, founded the UAAP on September 27, 1938.

[edit] My apologies...

Forgot Adamson University at the map. Will remedy it by the weekend. --Howard the Duck 14:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Adamson is there already. --Howard the Duck 16:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

[edit] Move to University Athletic Association of the Philippines

http://www.uaapgames.com/uaaphistory.shtml -> "The representatives of the three universities together with the Far Eastern University, which was already dominating the sports scene of the period, met at the PAAF Office. They formally organized the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on September 27, 1938." -> only the header says "Athletics", but the rest of the articles (and even the logo on the site) refer to it as the University Athletic Association of the Philippines.

It was also brought up earlier that the UAAP logo itself said "Athletic" and not "Athletics". It may also help to know that "Athletics" usually refers to Track and Field events only. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.60.243.83 (talk) 11:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Mass moving

I'm planning to move all championship lists (like UAAP Basketball Champions into UAAP Basketball Championship in a couple of days. If you approve, you can do so yourself. If you disapprove, state your objection here. --Howard the Duck 09:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Since nobody objected, I'll do the move now. --Howard the Duck 09:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rivalries

Do not add non-UAAP events in the UAAP page, such as events between ADMU and DLSU in the NCAA unless for a little backgrounder. Any specific non-UAAP events shouldn't go here. And please, no POV edits. Make it neutral. --Howard the Duck 06:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

About the 1991 men's basketball finals, it was game 3 that was replayed. I was present when the game 3 won by La Salle. It was the last points of Espinosa that won the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.106.179.235 (talk) 04:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Cite your source, because citing your own memory constitutes original research, which is unacceptable in Wikipedia. Phrase edits conforming to the NPOV standard. Rmcsamson (talk) 05:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
