PUP Radicals explained

The PUP Radicals (formerly the PUP Mighty Maroons) are the athletic teams of Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP). The school's teams compete in NAASCU and SCUAA. The teams also have several intercollegiate varsity sports teams for women and men at the university.
