So who did it?


Just when everyone expected everything to be settled once and for all, the much-anticipated presscon of De La Salle University (DLSU) over the investigation on its ineligible players only led to more questions instead of providing answers. DLSU told the press things that were already known by the basketball fan. There were no major disclosures, no big names mentioned or a big statement that said, "We found the mastermind and he's going down. Heads will roll!"
