NCAA Season 83 is the 2007–08Season of theNational Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines).
José Rizal University is the host of the 2007–2008 season, with this year's theme " Soaring High and Free at 83".NCAA Season 82's commissionerJun Bernardino was supposed to be the commissioner, if not for his death.[1]
FormerShell Turbo Chargers head coach and Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines presidentChito Narvasa will be this season's commissioner, succeeding Bernardino.
After allegations of identity switching circulated viatext messaging,Philippine Christian University (PCU) was investigated by the Management Committee (MANCOM) for alleged eligibility infractions on several of its varsity teams.[2] The MANCOM has completed its own investigation and are waiting for PCU's internal investigation and has hinted of suspending the Dolphins for Season 83 after PCU's representatives did not show up in the MANCOM meeting.[3]
After the deliberation by the MANCOM, the NCAA, via a statement issued by NCAA andJosé Rizal University (JRU) President Vicente Fabella, suspended the Dolphins from all events after four players of the Baby Dolphins basketball team were found to have used falsified documents. The Baby Dolphins were ordered to return their second-place trophy fromlast season's tournament and all individual awards. The senior Dolphins' 2005-06 general championship trophy was retained, however.[4]
