Will San Beda and Letran join the UAAP?

Tweet

I remember the old days when college basketball was really exciting. Ateneo, La Salle, Letran and San Beda were all under one league -- the old NCAA. The excitement was too much that people played balls and joined brawls and then ran after each other on the streets near Araneta Coliseum or Rizal Memorial. I heard a rumor years ago about San Beda's application for university status which got stalled and thus their transfer to the UAAP couldn't push through. Is there really a strict century-old rule that states that only colleges can join NC while Universities can join the UAAP? But Perpetual is a University and yet it is in the NC. Surely they could bypass this rule and they did. IF SBC and CSJL transfer, that would be a big blow to the NC which has lost some of its founding members. Why not a UAAP-NCAA merger? We can thus enjoy watching all the schools under one tournament. You can also share your opinions about anything UAAP or NCAA here :)
