Planong full calendar sa unang 6 months ng 2021 ang UAAP '83

PARA sa ika-83 taon ng University Athletics Association of the Philippines, gustong tiyakin ng pamunuan ng liga na lahat ng kanilang mga student-athletes sa lahat ng events sa high school at collegiate divisions ay makakapaglaro.

Isa sa mga plano ng liga sa sandaling payagan na ng gobyerno ang pagdaraos ng mga sporting events at pagbubukas ng mga paaralan ang idaos ang Season 83 at tapusin ito sa unang anim na buwan ng susunod na taon.

"We are planning to have a full calendar but that's dependent on the government and the schools themselves. These are students. Normalcy in the schools will take precedent" ani Season 82 president Em Fernandez ng Ateneo bilang panauhin sa lingguhang PSA virtual Forum. "Kung normal na ang pasok either online or face-to-face maybe we can talk about UAAP sports. But right now, full calendar when it will start, based on the government stated, PSC said no tournaments until December of 2020, we're looking at the first quarter of 2021." “This means that all sports, including televised events basketball and volleyball, will be played simulteously during those months. Yes, just like the SEA Games,” dagdag pa ni Fernandez. "If the SEA Games can do it, what's stopping the UAAP from doing the same thing? Kung si volleyball season runs from February to May, what's stopping the UAAP from running basketball side-by-side?" "The idea is to have the full calendar if possible, to have it and start it first of the year. Para kaming nag-start ng second sem all sports." Gayunman, ang lahat ng ito ay pawang plano pa lamang. Ayon naman kay Executive Director Rebo Saguisag na panauhin din sa forum, isa lamang ito sa mga scenarios na puwede nilang gawin o kaya'y baguhin base na rin sa mga susunod na mangyayari sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon na dulot ng coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
