San Beda moving from one league to another has long been rumor mill fodder, with many believing that the Mendiola side, owners of 24 NCAA seniors championships, have what it takes to compete in the UAAP.
The last time such move happened was four decades ago when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA in the 1980-81 season and joined the UAAP in 1986.
There's no clarity as of now if the Red Lions have, indeeed, filed an application to the UAAP or submitted a letter of withdrawal from the NCAA in the first place.
For his part, Miller is managed by Fil-Am Nation Select whose majority of players are in the UAAP.
Miller mulling over
As he basks in the glory of this San Beda conquest, he shared that he's not ready to think about next season just yet even with team insiders baring that a couple of UAAP teams are luring him out of the Red Lions' den.
"Right now, I have no decision, to be honest with you. I just got to go home, rest, not touch basketball for months, and just come make my decision. I'm just going to go home and live," he told reporters.
This wasn't necessarily what came out of his mouth just minutes before during the TV broadcast when he loudly and proudly exclaimed he was 'eager to run it back' with the Red Lions.
