The University Athletic Association of the
Philippines or UAAP was established in 1938. It is composed of eight
universities in the Philippines. Each year, teams from these member schools
play in 15 different sports which include basketball, women’s volleyball,
baseball, football, swimming, track and field, relays, tennis and soccer.
The
member universities are the University of the Philippines, University of Santo
Tomas, Far Eastern University, National University, Ateneo de Manila
University, De La Salle University, Adamson University and University of the
East.
UAAP President Nilo Ocampo of host
National University disclosed the schedule of games following the simple but
colorful opening ceremony last July 14, 2012 at MOA Arena. Dubbed as
“Unbreakable Season 75” Ocampo said the host university will highlight the
solid foundation that the league has created in collegiate sports over the past
years. “Every year is an exciting year for UAAP. Our aim is to bring more
people not only in basketball, but on other sports as well” Ocampo added.
Basketball games will be aired live via Studio 23.
