The UAAP formally shot down Samahan ng Basketball ng Pilipinas' proposal for a "merger" yesterday and the NSA's Executive Director Patrick Gregorio had this to say:
SBP respects the opinion and the concerns of both leagues. We agree that we have to protect the tradition of both the NCAA and the UAAP. Hindi po galing sa SBP ang word na "merger." Yes, we can play before and after the championship series. Maraming pwedeng format. As a matter of fact, in our letter, we proposed a soft working title of "let's play together in 2008." We will continue to reach out to the member schools. We will reach out to ABS-CBN their media partner. We also want to support the Bantay Bata Foundation. Our intention is sincere."
