I see the #UniversityChallenge is (again) under attack for the elitism of allowing the over-representation of #Oxbridge on the show...
this is not a new criticism & the answer to this 'historical anomaly' is pretty easy & well know; limit the Universities of Oxford & Cambridge to one team each... like every other university (with the possible exception of the association of universities that make up the University of London).
Its not rocket science & resistance is (indeed) elitism!
