No forfeiture for Ateneo; Perasol suspended 1 game

2019-09-02 0

The UAAP board will not forfeit Ateneo's recent win over the University of the East (UE). UE had questioned the presence of suspended Blue Eagles head coach Bo Perasol at the game venue, saying it violates a UAAP rule. But the board has decided Perasol's presence was not enough to forfeit Ateneo's victory. Instead, the board ordered Perasol to fully serve his suspension in Ateneo's last elimination round game against UST. That game could decide if UST or Ateneo, the five-time defending champion, will advance to the final four. – ANC Dateline Philippines, September 13, 2013
