Letran protests Red Cub's wrong jersey

MANILA, Philippines - The Management Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA) will tackle today a protest filed by Letran against San Beda over a wrong set of uniform worn by a Red Cub in their recent game.

Mancom chair Frank Gusi of host San Sebastian yesterday said they recently received the protest letter from Letran after Red Cub Baser Amer wore a different uniform without a logo of one of the league’s sponsors.

“The Mancom will convene at 9 a.m. at The Arena tomorrow (today) and we will decide on the protest by Letran,” said Gusi.

San Beda, the reigning NCAA juniors’ champion, overpowered Letran, 86-71, in a Season 86 game Wednesday although it may end up in forfeiture because of Amer’s alleged infraction.

It could be recalled that San Beda’s senior team lost a game to St. Benilde after former Nigerian center Sam Ekwe was also wore a uniform that was lacking a certain logo that the league required two years ago.

“There’s still no decision and the Mancom has yet to decide on it but I think there is a precedent,” said Ato Badolato, San Beda’s former high school coach who is now the school’s athletic director.
