I think, as does the sports administrator in Oxford, that this number of teams playing regularly means that we should have BUSA recognition. However there are two things- does ultimate want or need BUSA recognition? and if we are to get it then we need to club together to petition BUSA in order to gain recognition. This means as ultimate players we must be organised (yeah I know it doesn't come naturally but only an organised offensice is going to work!). I think it can only be good for ultimate to get some form of national recognition as it means that Universities will be forced to look at ultimate as more than just a group of people throwing a frisbee around for a laugh. Perhaps if we can change the opinions of Universities, who are more stuck in their ways than most, we can also change the general perception of the sport which leads to articles like those seen in Time Out a while back! Also has anyone out there tried this before, what were the results? Why were we turned down etc? Thanks a lot, for reading this far, now tell me/britdisc your opinions! Phil Cooper OW! aka Rocks
