V-League Only Has 4 Teams!

What is happening to the Shakey's V-League?

This is the question that comes to mind as 4 teams, all of them V-League pioneers, begged off from the second conference of the V-League's Season 8.

La Salle and UST, former V-League champions who were both absent in the first conference, were joined in the sidelines by another set of former champions, namely Adamson and FEU. All four teams cited the academic load of their student-athletes as reasons for not participating.



Sport Vision Chairman Moying Martelino is currently negotiating with 4 unnamed teams to join Ateneo, Lyceum, Perpetual Help and San Sebastian in the second conference.

Rumors are these four teams are club or company teams, which may lead to the V-League turning into a semi-commercial league, which is actually in the long-term plans of Martelino and the V-League Board.
