With the NCAA celebrating its centennial season, it will also compile a list of its 100 greatest players. Currently, the known criteria for nomination are as follows:
The player must be an "exceptional figure" that has competed in any sporting event the league has held.
The player must have been retired for at least 20 years.
This may change since three schools (Arellano, EAC, and Lyceum) have been members for less than 20 years.
The NCAA unveiled the first 10 players during the opening ceremony, with a separate event being planned for the remaining 90 players during the middle of the season.[3]
The NCAA basketball championships have two tournaments: the seniors' tournament for male college student athletes, and juniors' tournaments for male senior high school student athletes. The seniors' tournament will start on September 7, with the SM Mall of Asia Arena hosting opening day, then the Filoil EcoOil Centre hosting the rest of the elimination round.
