After more than a year after the cancellation of their 95th season due to the pandemic, the oldest collegiate sports league in the country is finally set to make a return as they are ready to rise up against the pandemic and are all set to open their 96th season this June 13.
But don't get too excited yet, because of the still on going pandemic and the strict protocols that the IATF has imposed, the league will just open its doors to limited sports and events that will be done virtually such as online chess, poomsae, and taekwondo.
Contact sports on amateur level are still prohibited by the government, but the league has posted the Basketball and Volleyball in their calendar of events and are still awaiting for approval from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Inter Agency Task Force against emerging and infectious diseases (IATF).
For now, the NCAA considers holding skills based online challenges like a slam dunk challenge, 3 point shootout, who knows if they can pull off a 1 vs 1 basketball tournament just like in the NBL.
