Mabubuhay kaya ang UAAP kung wala ang ADMU-DLSU rivalry?

[Sonicfang]

nabuo naman ang uaap ng wala admu at dlsu.

[lavish]

mabubuhay but kokonti kita. pansinin ang venue, pag wala ang 2 schools na yan, maluwag parking, it only means sila ang nakakaangat at suportado ng mga nag graduate sa kanila. magiging ncaa ang peg ng uaap pag walang ateneo at la salle

Before Ateneo and La Salle transferred to the UAAP, the NCAA was the premier collegiate basketball tournament of the country. The two teams have a "midas touch"

[geepee_hazard]

Syempre naman mabubuhay ang UAAP....eh ang ateneo at la salle ***? mabubuhay pa ba ang rivalry kung wala na sila sa UAAP at wala din sila sa NCAA?

[dashingdevonair]

Of course. Every year Harvard and Yale engage in an annual football match detached from any collegiate tournament, and it has been alive and kicking for 67 years.

Even if both schools leave the UAAP and stick to a Best-of-7 Harvard-Yale setup, I'd still watch the games. I think it would intensify the rivalry even more.

Just football? In your own estimate, how many filipinos out of 10 will watch football? Baka pwede pa baseball.

UAAP will survive without the 2 schools but lesser popularity of course.

Syempre basketball Well I do hope they'll make an Ateneo-La Salle Annual Christmas Cup soon. They can play it out in a Best of 7 match in the spirit of Christmas Both being catholic institutions, the proceeds can go to charity as well.

Good luck with that since most of you are rich naman at may natutulungan pa kayo.

That's your personal preference but I don't think anyone, would want to watch the same two teams battle over and over again. A Best of 7 face-off between these two will be a hot ticket once or twice, three times tops. Eventually this rivalry will reach its saturation point.

basketball, volleyball, track and field, football, debate, quiz bee, talent show, programming contest...kahit boy pick-up ang laban, tatabo pa rin yan.

of course, the ateneans will never win boy pickup, because la salle has boy pickup himself.

for how many years do usc and ucla, duke and unc, and harvard and yale students/alumni hate each other now?

the point being, the rivalry will never reach saturation point because there are always new students to be indoctrinated.

oo naman mabubuhay ang UAAP kahit wala ang DLSU / ADMU.. kasi kung di din naman sila sumali ng UAAP di rin naman sila makikilala..

I was pertaining to the commercial appeal of the rivalry. Sure, students from both schools will "hate" each other until the day they die, but as I previously mentioned, the public will eventually grow tired of watching the same two teams battle over and over again. As I said in an earlier post:

The UAAP will survive and thrive even without the rivalry as long as basketball remains the country's favorite sport. It's all about how the UAAP "sells" the next big rivalry to the public.

When the Lakers - Celtics rivalry subsided in the early 90's, the NBA not only survived, it became a global phenomenon thanks to a guy named Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
