NCAA Season 100 was the 2024–25 season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) of the Philippines. It was hosted by the Lyceum of the Philippines University. The opening ceremony was held on September 7, 2024 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Background On June 22, 2024, José Rizal University gave the hosting rights to Lyceum of the Philippines University during the Cheerleading Competition at the Filoil EcoOil Centre. Hercules Callanta, the Lyceum of the Philippines University athletic director and management committee chairman, said that they were planning to partner with the San Juan City government so that all but the opening matches were held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.
10 Greatest Players With the NCAA celebrating its centennial season, the association planned to compile a list of its 100 greatest players. The known criteria for nomination were 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. However, that didn't push through, leaving the list with the following ten players, one representing each member school from 2000 onwards: Regine Arocha (Arellano Lady Chiefs volleyball) Ryan Jacolo (Benilde Blazing Paddlers table tennis) Sidney Onwubere (EAC Generals basketball) Mark Harry Diones (JRU Heavy Bombers track and field) RJ Jazul (Letran Knights basketball) CJ Perez (Lyceum Pirates basketball) Adrian Nocum (Mapúa Cardinals basketball) Louie Ramirez (Perpetual Altas volleyball) Baser Amer (San Beda Red Lions basketball) Allyn Bulanadi (San Sebastian Stags basketball)
