Doing the right thing

La Salle recently found out that one of their players is ineligible to play in the men's basketball team. The team's center man -- Mark Benitez -- has allegedly provided a forged Philippine Educational Placement Test Certificate of Ratings in leiu of HS diploma. Hence, La Salle is ready to give up its trophy won last year and forfeit all games where Benitez played.

La Salle actually placed second to FEU this year. La Salle denied Ateneo and UE the chance to play for the UAAP title. La Salle sweeped Ateneo and UE this year. Had this incident known before, either Ateneo or UE could have played FEU for the UAAP crown.

I wonder how the UAAP board would resolve this issue. Would FEU get the UAAP 2004 throphy? Would the 2005 UAAP title game be replayed? -- or just forget about it and move on?

The story is here.
