UAAP denies PBA request to allow players to join rookie draft

The UAAP denies the PBA's request to allow its players to join the pro league's Season 50 Rookie Draft ahead of the collegiate league's Season 88 which opens on Sept. 19, 2925. The core of PBA's request is for UAAP to allow its student-athletes to apply for the pro league's draft on Sept. 7 and retain their eligibility as amateur, drafted or not. UAAP Executive Director Rebo Saguisag in a media scrum following UAAP Season 88 kickstart presser at UST on Aug. 27 said the collegiate league was saying no to that for now, stressing the need for a careful study before making a decision about it.

00:00I think that's why we know the merit and advantages that it will grant the student athletes.
00:10However, yun na nga, when you take a decision, it's not for sport or for the sport.
00:15It's for the whole sporting program of all events.
00:21So, we have to be polite to be polite to be polite to be polite to be polite to be polite to be polite to be polite.
00:30We don't have any questions.
00:33Request to be able to draft the player in the midst or actually even for the market to be polite to be polite.
00:41There are a lot of implications.
00:43And even to our most recent rulings, it will always affect us.
00:47So, we need to be careful studying with all the implications, not only for basketball but for all sporting events.
00:55In the future, at the most recent ones, we need to be consistent in all our regulations.
01:00So, they understood naman.
01:02Hindi ko pwede ni-adjust naman yung position.
01:04Nagsiroan na lang kami.
01:06So, the most player will be announcing the draft in every year.
01:10So, the staff is not allowing.
01:12Of course, they have to be drafted.
01:14It's their choice.
01:15So, they have to be a choice.
01:16They forego eligibility.
01:17Gano'n naman nangyari.
01:18So, hindi.
01:19Wala akong binabawalan.
01:20It's just that our rule, right now, if you join the draft, you forego your eligibility.
01:26So, ang request is sa pagbigyan ko ng decision.
01:29Medyo malapit na kasi.
01:31And again, maraming siyang evento.
01:33Maraming siyang evento, rather, sa ibang sporting events namin.
01:37So, hindi sa mapagbibigyan ko muna.
01:40At least for the decision.
01:41But, we committed na i-refer namin sa committee for a really deep study on all its implications across all our sporting events.
01:52Maka 20 yun.
01:53Diba?
01:54Maka sporting events.
01:55Diba?
01:56Diba, pag eligible ka pa, hindi ka pwede ma-fundrapped?
01:59Diba?
02:00Correct.
02:01Diba, when you join the draft.
02:02Diba.
02:03Diba.
02:04Kasi, makahit na hindi ka ma-choose ng team, hindi, ka ma-VA-Ch.
02:05So, in our eyes, hindi ka ma-profesional player, professional match.
02:12E, amatural ng UA for now.
02:13For now.
02:14So, diba ang ang ating sagot sa PDE.
02:16But if you're not leaving any room now, maybe there's a fair name, then you're going to be able to make it.
02:23Again, that's not a matter. So, that's our ending.
02:26That's going to be for the committee.
02:28To propose any changes, if any.
02:31And if there is a month, it will be for the season 89.
02:35And retroactive, if you give those changes to us.
02:39To be, not this block, not this block.
02:43I don't think the city commissioner will be concerned about SBP.
02:55However, SBP is only one sport of basketball.
03:00SBP is multi-sport.
03:02And I think SBP, before that, they also understand that they have to support the schedules of our local weeks.
03:10Kasi pag tinatayin mo naman din yan, mawawalan sila ng full of where to draw from.
03:14So, no commitment set, pinag-aaralan mo buti.
03:17Ito yung ikaw bubuti.
03:18So, magiging discretion ng mga kadating magpapayarap.
03:20If ever, yes. For now, for now.
03:22But again, ang maganda dito, Erica D is a very good friend.
03:25Do you know this, I think I have the last song to watch the game?
03:34No.
03:35So, I know I can now.
03:37So I'm gonna do it again.
03:39So, we're gonna do it again.
03:40I'm gonna do it again.
03:41I know I'm gonna do it again.
03:43I know I can do it, uh.
03:44So, I know.
03:45So, let's see.
03:46I'm gonna do it again.
03:48So, we got to do it again.
