The Shakey’s V-League suffered a major (major) blow after four teams pulled out of the competition, leaving the country’s premiere volleyball tournament with only four teams left when it opens its Season 8 second conference this July 10.
Ricky Palou, president of the organizing Sports Vision, said only Ateneo, University of Perpetual Help, San Sebastian College and Lyceum were left in the roster after Adamson University and Far Eastern University begged off from competition. University of Santo Tomas and La Salle, which missed the previous conference, also confirmed that they won’t see action just like last conference, citing the academic load of players.
Adamson and FEU also withdrew for the same reason. But Sports Vision chairman Moying Martelino said the league won’t settle for four teams, saying they are negotiating with four more teams to join since he said the ideal number of teams is eight. With the pull-out of a total of four UAAP Schools, this could be the final curtain for V-league. We hope its not the end though.
