| @davidr: the situation was that the Open University team was composed of former quiz show champions, which was judged to be against the spirit of the show. Since they had won legitimately, that couldn't be taken away, but they were banned from future years for essentially intentionally spoiling the show.
I was surprised to see the absence of Manchester, Cardiff, Hull, all of them very good. Loughborough, for the record, is known as the very best sporting university in the country. |
