UAAP deducts one more playing year for student-athletes  A two-year deduction in playing years for transferring UAAP student-athletes is now effective, adding one more year from the usual one only. UAAP Executive Director Rebo Saguisag revealed this development in the league's Season 87 basketball kickstart press conference in Quezon City on Sept. 4, 2024. The rule is only for transfers with UAAP member schools.

00:00Sorry to call it a response, but we're ready to defend if called upon.

00:05Allow me to say, however, that that is the beauty and gift of democracy.

00:10Everybody has their own views and their own perspective.

00:13And we understand and respect where she's coming from.

00:16If you use it as a, I think the term is a convention.

00:20However, let me state for the record that all of us in this room,

00:25the welfare and interest of each and every student athlete is of paramount importance.

00:31There is no question about that.

00:32So we all agree on that.

00:34And that's the most important thing.

00:35We may have different views on how to get there.

00:37But again, allow me to state that the welfare of each and every student athlete is of paramount importance.

00:44Motivation may be a part of the considerations.

00:48Like I said, and interestingly, that is where we are coming from.

00:53We have to consider, and as much as we protect, we guarantee the protection, the rights of each and every student athlete,

01:01we have to balance that with 200 interests.

01:05And I'm talking about the member school per se and the UAAT as a whole activity.

01:09So there are three parties concerned here that we need to balance their interests.

01:14Because at the end of the day, a better member school will lead to a better UAAT,

01:20which leads to a better environment for the student athletes.

01:25Any transfer after the conclusion of academic year 2024?

01:31So just wait, I guess.

01:33After that, we need to conclude.

01:35So any transfers made prior to that?

01:42I'm not privy with regard to whatever structure each of the member schools...

01:47I'm speaking on behalf of the collective act of the UAAT.

01:50Maybe on the arrangements of each of the member schools,

01:53and each of their teams, talking about chess and baseball,

01:56to make inter-teams, et cetera.

01:58What's important to us is the rule of environment.

02:00So if you transfer from a member school to another member school of the UAAT,

02:04then you will be affected by the new measure.
