In Oxbridge, colleges compete for public exposure because ultimately that’s what leads to donation & to get top undergrads applying who, eventually, will donate £££ to the college once they land a good job. So there’s quite a lot of PR relating to sports & academic achievements. What’s a bit ironic in this case is that no research is really done at colleges, and grads tend not to be central to college life, it’s really the authors & the research lab who deserve the creds!
