This feels like it's almost as much as an annual tradition as anything else, but there is complaints once again that the University Challenge entry process is 'biased', 'elitist' and 'breaching the BBC's impartiality' by allowing multiple Oxbridge entrants rather than just two like many other institutions. I get where Prof. Coffield is coming from, but I don't really have much issue with allowing multiple Oxbidge entrants as long as the same process can be possible for others (like below); and the language used is quite sensationalist (breaching impartiality is a little OTT).
Ironically it's two institutions of the University of London instituitons competing tonight, another university that is allowed multiple entrants, but not many complain about that funnily enough. I think the same was true of the University of Wales before its demise, and likely is true for others organisations.

The full list of teams and relevant alumni for the next few weeks:
Just the one Oxbridge entrant remains after the episodes with the accessibility issues were lost. Four from London though.
