Basketball

History

The PCU Dolphins entered the NCAA in 1996. Then known as the PCU Saints then went to the latter known, PCU DOLPHINS. The Dolphins has a "bad-boys" like image in the NCAA. They are very much like the Detroit Pistons back in the early 90s known as Motown Badboys. The Dolphins show exemplary defense and hunger for the ball which led to their first championship in 2004.The Dolphins' only problem is that they can't seem to keep a Head Coach.

PCU eligibity scandal

After allegations of identity switching circulated via text messaging, Philippine Christian University (PCU) was investigated by the Management Committee (MANCOM) for alleged eligibility infractions on several of its varsity teams. The MANCOM has completed its own investigation and are waiting for PCU's internal investigation and has hinted of suspending the Dolphins for Season 83 after PCU's representatives didn't show up in the MANCOM meeting.
After the deliberation by the MANCOM, the NCAA, via a statement issued by NCAA and José Rizal University (JRU) President Vicente Fabella, suspended the Dolphins from all events after four players of the Baby Dolphins basketball team were found to have used falsified documents. The Baby Dolphins were ordered to return their second-place trophy from last season's tournament and all individual awards. The senior Dolphins' 2005-06 general championship trophy was retained, however.
