Because of this new rule, a designated UP swimming champion will not join the UAAP unless there is a TRO. She said she will invest Php12 million in UP sports facilities to attract more athletes to come to the university since sports is a bonding activity. President Pascual informed the board that there are other swimmers who are barred by the UAAP board from participating in UAAP swimming competitions because they participated in the International University Sports Union (FISU) Universiades.

Regent Senator Cayetano said the president might tell the UAAP board to break this exclusive control over athletes and give them the freedom to participate in sporting events. President Pascual told the board that he had already instructed the Chancellor, who represents UP on the UAAP board, to do so.
