There was a time when San Beda played in the NCAA Finals for 14 straight times and it made the Red Lions must-own players in the PBA.
With that said, most of their championships were won by foreign exchange students like Sam Ekwe, Sudan Daniel, Ola Adeogun, Donald Tankoua, and Nunu Noah. This is why when the NCAA dropped their imports, the NCAA was able to develop above-average big men.
But what's insane about San Beda is that even during the rise of the foreigners, their big men are sought after. San Beda gets the draft nod with their big men, their defense-oriented forwards, and their pass-first point guards. With a superb junior division and an outstanding basketball program, San Beda is the top NCAA destination that isn't the Letran Knights.
Thus the reason why I called this "The Draft Score," is because one score is equal to 20 years. With that said, because the pandemic ruined a lot of things, we're just going to check out the last 20 drafts for each college team. I'm also going to do away with the undrafted players because they weren't drafted and most PBA information online isn't as extensive.
I think I am going to do this for most UAAP and NCAA teams - as well as some notable college teams.
