The story may be apocryphal, but perhaps the CVCP have
adopted the only logical position regarding league tables.
Having resisted them for many years they finally accepted
the inevitable and gave way to the spirit of our age. Now
the idea is to encourage as many different tables as
possible - constructed using as wide a variety of criteria
as possible. That way all institutions will eventually have
their day, and be able to quote within their literature the
appropriate 'statistical' proof of their excellence!
