A pitch for an Intercollegiate Honesty League

     I just don’t understand why La Salle sounds so aggrieved when the UAAP board announced it wanted a deeper investigation than the in-house "investigation" DLSU made in regard to their fielding of ineligible players.
     Lalo namang hindi ko maintindihan why some sports columnists would write that La Salle has suffered enough already.
     Leche!
     If one cheated in a tournament, sanctions would have to be meted.  Returning throphies is not enough.  Suspension is not even enough punishment; expulsion is.
     Who these pindejos are trying to fool, I don’t know  It is common knowledge naman that La Salle has been cheating–matagal na.  It actively pirates promising players from other schools and offers them not only scholarships but huge allowances, pads and cars as well.  Heck, some college ballplayers are getting paid much more than some players in the semi- and the pro leagues. 
    Nasabi ko na rin lang naman, ganun din ang Ateneo at iba pang schools sa UAAP at NCAA.  As far as I know, sa NCRAA lang walang bayaran at suhulan.   When I was an NCAA reporter, I heard that some NCAA schools (Intramuros-based) are fixing the referees.  Noong 1991 pa naman ito.  But what do you say, Mr. Go Teng Kok?
     For all their faults, not the least of which is being in long title droughts, the SBC and UP sports programs have never been involved in such shenanigans.  Mainam na bumuo sila ng bagong liga, along with NU, UE, FEU, JRU, PCU, MLQU, AU, UM, PUP, atbp.  Some of these schools may not be marquee pero an  Intercollegiate Honesty League  is not necessarily a bad idea, right?  At least, alam natin that their players are real students at hindi pampered hoopsters out to earn big bucks without putting in some class time man lang.
    I agree, a deeper investigation is needed.  Pero hindi lang sa La Salle kundi sa buong NCAA at UAAP din.
  Kung hindi, usapang ulol lang ang lahat ng ito.
