[edit] Athletics or Athetic?

The article says athletics, but the logo says athletic. Should the Article be renamed University Athletic Association of the Philippines?

[edit] Founding Members

FEU is a founding member. Here's why:

The Big 3 as it was called became a success and on April 6, 1932, its Article of Agreement was renewed. It was also during this time that these three universities seceded from the NCAA. The big 3 continued for the next six years until the Board of Directors of the UP Alumni Association suggested to then UP President Jorge C. Bocobo that a new inter university athletic be instituted. Having taken initiative, first with the NCAA and then with the Big 3, it was only natural that the UP again take the reins of leadership to organize a university athletic association. The representatives of the three universities together with the Far Eastern University, which was already dominating the sports scene of the period, met at the PAAF Office. They formally organized the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on September 27, 1938. From: http://www.uaapgames.com/uaaphistory.shtml

From the paragraph I concluded:

1. NU, UP and UST seceded from the NCAA due to commercialization.
2. NU, UP and UST founded the Big Three league.
3. The Big Three league was dissolved.
4. The Big Three then referred to NU, UP and UST.
5. FEU is not a part of the Big Three.
6. The Big Three, together with FEU, founded the UAAP on September 27, 1938.

[edit] Move to University Athletic Association of the Philippines

http://www.uaapgames.com/uaaphistory.shtml -> "The representatives of the three universities together with the Far Eastern University, which was already dominating the sports scene of the period, met at the PAAF Office. They formally organized the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on September 27, 1938." -> only the header says "Athletics", but the rest of the articles (and even the logo on the site) refer to it as the University Athletic Association of the Philippines.

It was also brought up earlier that the UAAP logo itself said "Athletic" and not "Athletics". It may also help to know that "Athletics" usually refers to Track and Field events only. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.60.243.83 (talk) 11:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
