I've got to agree with David's thoughts. Whilst the idea of a league, 
which would put us on a par with other uni sports, is attractive, 
there are certain problems which must be addressed.

Speaking from a Sneeeky's perspective, the distances involved in 
travelling for an afternoon's ultimate, in Scotland at least, are a lot 
greater, which could pose both money and time problems for students. 
Possibly this could be remedied by a series of 1day mini-tournaments
during weekends, at which all the teams taking part in the region are 
present. 
This has been done by Sneeeky's informally for a couple of 
years now, and has been relatively successful. The added bonus of 
having small localised tournaments, is that beginners who might not 
relish the idea of being cramped in a mini-bus for 9 hours, get to 
play in a friendly, competitive environment, which isn't too 
menacing and is fairly close to home. 

Awaiting further comments,
