Default Oxford disqualified from University Challenge, trophy passed to Manchester.
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7919830.stm

The BBC has disqualified University Challenge's winning team for breaking the rules by using a contestant who was no longer a student.

The title has been transferred to the University of Manchester, the team beaten by Corpus Christi College, Oxford on the TV quiz last week.

Team member Sam Kay was working as an accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers while the final was filmed.

No it does not show that they are stupid, nor does it show that they are stuck up. All it does show is that they made a silly mistake.

I bet a shilling that if they had put a tub of lard in Kay's seat, Corpus Christi would still have won.

I accept your shilling and raise you a half-penny!

Sorry, couldn't resist

Anyway I fully agree, Kay's input was only a small amount.
