Quite frankly, the residency rule for HS student athletes going on collegiate is S-T-U-P-I-D.

Students are NOT commodities or trade chips. Besides, their parents pay tuition and other fees, so, by what right can schools implement this?

If you are an athlete and you need pay tuition then you could easily ask for your release bec. malamang sa hindi isa kang banban na athlete (pang puno ng roster) . Walang blue chip athele ang nagbabayad ng tuition, sila pa ang binibigyan.
With regards to students, yes they are not commodities. But athlete/students are, highest bidder, playing time and the works (including jobs for immediate family) .

SM?

During my time, i would still see the basketball players attending classes and participating in projects. Yung friend ko sa DLSU, nabwiset kay Cardona kasi laging "magkano kailangan" lang ang inaalok as participation niya sa project. :D

DLSU had a big win over UE yesterday. UE choked big time indeed (with Sumang splitting his FTs at the last 4 seconds before OT). DLSU is on a roll!

^ perkins is the man w/c is in the position to define the season of dlsu, i think. he's versatile and adds a new dimension to the green archer offense. plus his wideness and heft underneath the boards is a big lane clogger on defense

ue's offense was stagnant yesterday in the end game. pinapatay iyong bola sa mga kamay ni super sumang. lahat tuloy ng depensa naka-abang lang sa kanya. malaking kawalan din iyong goon nilang si olivares sa opensa :chop:

I agree, tagal na nilang magaling magdevelop nang magagaling na HS players na napipirata lang. It's been like that for over 2 decades na ata going 3.

Pero hindi naman sila bitter, they just accept reality.

The dumb thing that UE did was when crunch time came, they relied on jumpers and outside shots. They forgot that they were leading mainly because of their inside incursions.

^^That's the common folly of teams in the lead who are losing their leads -- taking too many jumpshots...

I think ADMU is still strict with the academic requirements of its student athletes. Other UAAP schools, probably in varying degrees, but it's complete hypocrisy for schools to insist on the draconic residency requirement coming out of high school if they can't be strict with academics of their athletes. Talagang pinatatagal sa school para hindi makapaglaro.

Ampch... Ryan Buenafe 30lbs ago? :D But yeah, the guy really has to bring more rabbits out of the hat this time.

AFAIK, they are still strict with academic requirements although lagging players are given tutors. I think they only bend somewhat in getting the player recruits past the ACET.

Tabain yata talaga, so he has to watch his diet and his workout regimen. Siguro naman binabantayan din siya ng mga assistant coach at trainer ng ADMU para hindi lumobo masyado.

Well it looks like the UAAP blinked:

UAAP to allow Bartolome to swim for UP

ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 09/05/2013 6:22 PM | Updated as of 09/05/2013 6:33 PM
MANILA, Philippines – The UAAP has decided to allow University of the Philippines (UP) swimmer Mikee Bartolome to participate in the Season 76 swimming competition following an eligibility meeting by the league board on Thursday.

In a text message, UAAP secretary-treasurer Malou Isip said Bartolome will now be allowed to compete.

“She’s on the UP swim line-up. No choice but again respect the TRO, or else ma-contempt naman kami,” Isip said.

Bartolome’s father, Vic, on Tuesday secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the UAAP’s residency rule which mandates a high school athlete transferring from one UAAP school to another to serve a two-year residency period.

Earlier, Isip said that while the UAAP Board respects the TRO, they will revert to the old UAAP rule which mandates a one-year residency period unless an athlete secures a release from his high school.

“May old rule kami of one-year residency,” Isip said, adding that Bartolome’s high school, the University of Santo Tomas, has a “no release policy.”

But the UAAP Board changed their stand later Thursday, which will allow Bartolome to participate in the UAAP swimming competition on September 19 to 22.

Tabain talaga si Buenafe. In the past two years you could see him start the season on the XL size tapos he'll trim down as the season progresses. I'd guess a PBA schedule (if/when he turns pro) would keep him leaner.

Ano kaya ang nabiling bago ni sumang?

New shoes? Ipad? :D

Well it looks like the UAAP blinked:

But what if the TRO lapses already and the tables are turned (i.e. the dumb ruling is upheld in court), her participation in the tourney is nullified?

Next stop: Jerie Pingoy?

Well, by allowing her to enrol in U.P. and compete for the school, the UAAP already deemed her participation in the swimming events as valid. It's a slippery slope for the UAAP schools on this as it unfairly infringes on the right of a student to select where to study and for what school to represent in any organized athletic event. They can't even cite what damage or injury they stand to suffer by allowing students to compete for other schools.

Kung scholarship lang, eh di pabayaran sa mga magulang ang matrikula, diba?

Here's an excellent article on the subject from the Inquirer:

UAAP residency rule vs right to sports

By Oscar Franklin Tan

When swimmer Mikee Bartolome sued over the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) residency rule, the UAAP opined to Judge Manuel Sta. Cruz Jr. that “playing in the UAAP is not a right, but a mere privilege.” Bartolome correctly argues this is not only callous and arbitrary, it is unconstitutional and un-Filipino.

As a University of Sto. Tomas high school swimmer, Bartolome dominated the UAAP juniors division with 19 medals (10 of them golds) and a Rookie of the Year award. Bartolome’s dream, however, was to enter the University of the Philippines. Not only was she accepted, UP even offered her a sports scholarship. Her family rejoiced; she could compete alongside her sister, already part of the UP swimming team, and her father Vic, a UP Maroons basketball coach. Her parents, humble government employees, sacrificed much for their Mikee, paying for a private coach and pool.

Only the residency rule barred her dream. A student from a UAAP university’s high school, who attends another UAAP university for college, is prohibited from competing for two years without a release from the first university. UST refused to release Bartolome. Two years is an eternity in that glorious but fleeting last stage of childhood that is college.

Supported by UP alumna Sen. Pia Cayetano, Bartolome sued. Her court filing outright accuses UST of “bitterness” and the UAAP of treating high school athletes as “investments” who should be discouraged from transferring. More poignantly, Bartolome invoked her constitutional right to choose how she is to be educated. The power of this claim must not be cheapened by the UAAP’s ridiculous stand that a student athlete’s right to compete is merely a privilege.

In the 1925 Meyer case, Nebraska passed a law forbidding the teaching of languages other than English to children, to push immigrants to assimilate. The US Supreme Court ruled that a democracy cannot restrict something as fundamental as education. Philippine law has embraced Meyer’s words: “[Liberty] denotes not merely freedom from bodily restraint but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in any of the common occupations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.”

Is sports “essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness”? Recall the UP aphorism that studies should not get in the way of one’s education. The right to education goes beyond the classroom. It is made whole by participation in a broader, vibrant campus life.

To a student athlete, this means sports. This means the discipline of jumping into a pool at sunrise, the rapture of victory and the gallantry of sportsmanship. This means the honor of vying to don school colors and be cheered on by one’s community. This means not a commercial, professional league but that special, irreplaceable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that deserves as much protection as the right to sit in a classroom. And Bartolome correctly cited how our Constitution is replete with references to youth, education and sports, enshrining student athletics as part of our national values alongside our renunciation of dictatorship and the primacy of civilian authority.

The residency rule was intended to discourage the aggressive recruiting of star basketball players, yet here is Bartolome begging entry into a much less glamorous arena. Ironically, UP is hardly in a position to woo athletes with condominiums and cars. UST’s refusal to release her underscores that she is being punished for her choice of university in a way that offends our society’s most deeply held values.

The residency rule fails the basic constitutional test of equality. Why is Bartolome treated differently from a student who attended a non-UAAP high school? Why is she treated differently from a student granted a release? Why is she captive to the “bitterness” she decries? As Senator Cayetano argues: “What did Mikee do wrong? She has so much talent but she cannot play and carry the color of the school that she goes to.”

It is sad how our students’ rights are sometimes still trivialized. Recall how St. Therese’s College in Cebu punished high school students over bikini photos (taken at a private activity with parents present) posted on Facebook, then brazenly defied a court order to allow the girls to attend their graduation. In one jurist’s words, students do not “shed their constitutional rights… at the schoolhouse gate.”

Fortunately for Bartolome, Judge Sta. Cruz issued a 20-day restraining order, allowing her to swim for UP in the September UAAP matches. He documented how Bartolome has been unable to focus on both studies and swimming and stands to lose her sports scholarship. He decried “rules that would defeat the purpose of athletic competition” and ordered that “talents and gifts like hers should be given the best of opportunity to develop and grow.”

When UP students clamor for budgetary priority to education, they articulate that education is a constitutional right, not a privilege. When Senator Cayetano defended the Reproductive Health Act before the Supreme Court, she asserted women’s constitutional right to informed choice, an argument traced all the way to the Meyer case. In the same vein, Bartolome now asserts her constitutional right to compete

Just shows how corrupted UAAP has been,
