'''UAAP Season 72''' was the 2009–2010 season of the [[University Athletic Association of the Philippines]]. It was hosted by [[Far Eastern University]], with opening rites on July 11, 2009 at the [[Araneta Coliseum]]. The men's basketball tournament and the women's volleyball tournament were aired by [[ABS-CBN Corporation|ABS-CBN]]'s [[UHF]] [[Studio 23]] for the tenth consecutive year.

==Opening ceremonies==
The opening ceremonies for the 72nd UAAP games was held at the [[Araneta Coliseum]] last July 11, 2009. The opening rites featured different student organizations from the host [[Far Eastern University]] including other participants from the other 7 UAAP member universities. With the season's theme ''One Color. One Goal.'' the event participants wore white costumes, symbolizing ''unity'' in the league, introduced the league member universities through flags and the [[sarimanok]], bearing the member schools' respective colors.

==Calendar changes==
The schedule of the sporting events will be changed this season. Badminton will be held in the first semester, instead of chess.

==Television coverage rights==
With ABS-CBN's contract to broadcast the UAAP expiring on March 31, 2010, two other TV networks are bidding for exclusive television rights for the league, although ABS-CBN has the [[right of first refusal]]. [[Solar Entertainment Corporation]]'s sports section Solar Sports will join the bidding for the TV rights, with a Solar official naming [[GMA Network]] as another interested party. The UAAP has been broadcast by ABS-CBN for ten years already at their UHF station Studio 23.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Abac |last=Cordero |title=Network war seen for UAAP television rights |work=[[Philippine Star]] |publisher=ngetstudio.com |date=18 March 2009 |access-date=3 April 2009 |url=http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=8b6a00df-72b8-4220-983a-a364c4e5d929 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830042159/http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=8b6a00df-72b8-4220-983a-a364c4e5d929 |archive-date=August 30, 2009 }}</ref> UAAP president Anton Montinola said the league considers "to project the league not just nationally but also globally" due to "a lot of followers abroad, mostly alumni". Montinola further said the league has been satisfied with ABS-CBN's coverage of both the basketball and volleyball games. The volleyball tournament was even moved from the first semester (July–October) to the second semester (November–March) to maximize the TV coverage.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Joey |last=Villar |title=UAAP eyes network's global reach in TV deal |work=[[Philippine Star]] |publisher=ngetstudio.com |date=19 March 2009 |access-date=3 April 2009 |url=http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=8b6a00df-72b8-4220-983a-a364c4e5d929 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830042159/http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=8b6a00df-72b8-4220-983a-a364c4e5d929 |archive-date=August 30, 2009 }}</ref>

Confirming Solar's earlier revelation, GMA has joined the bidding, submitting theirs at a UAAP board meeting on March 19, 2009. In order to strengthen its position, ABS-CBN's bid includes airing the men's basketball championship series at their flagship [[VHF]] station [[DWWX-TV|Channel 2]] instead of airing it on Studio 23, where ABS-CBN has aired the men's basketball tournament for the past nine seasons.<ref name=bid /> Solar will air it on VHF [[C/S 9]] of which they a block-timer.

Despite the [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao#Philippine TV rights|TV rights row on the Pacquiao-Hatton boxing bout]] between ABS-CBN on one hand and Solar Sports and GMA on the other, Solar has confirmed it will stand by their UAAP bid, with Solar offering a possible linkage either to ABS-CBN's [[The Filipino Channel]] (on which the games currently air) or to [[GMA Pinoy TV]] to air the games internationally.<ref name="Solar"/> With ABS-CBN's current contract worth [[Philippine peso|P]]75 million, Montinola has expressed delight that "there are three TV networks that are very, very much interested to become our partner next season," noting that it is "the first time that this is happening." Montinola clarified that the UAAP is not "rushing things" to determine which among the three networks have the best offer, and declined to comment on the financial offers, saying, "We [UAAP, GMA 7, ABS-CBN and Solar] are still far from that discussion."<ref>{{Cite news|first=Josef |last=Ramos |title=UAAP board not in a hurry to make decision, says Montinola |work=[[Manila Times]] |publisher=ngetstudio.com |date=23 March 2009 |access-date=3 April 2009 |url=http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=ae89ea5d-49f3-4f4c-bcc9-651ea266c064 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090325052102/http://www.ngetstudio.com/UAAP/news/?id=ae89ea5d-49f3-4f4c-bcc9-651ea266c064 |archive-date=March 25, 2009 }}</ref>

On October 4, right before the tip-off of Game 2 of the men's basketball finals, the UAAP and ABS-CBN agreed in principle and signed a [[memorandum of agreement]] giving the broadcasting network the right to air the league's games for another five-year period starting [[UAAP Season 73]].<ref>{{Cite news|first=Alder |last=Almo |title=UAAP extends partnership with ABS-CBN |publisher=uaapsports.com |date=4 October 2009 |access-date=5 October 2009 |url=http://www.uaapsports.com/features/296/uaap-extends-partnership-with-abs-cbn |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007035053/http://www.uaapsports.com/features/296/uaap-extends-partnership-with-abs-cbn/ |archive-date=October 7, 2009 }}</ref>
