Hate to argue Finny but what you're saying about university etc is not strictly true, shuff (both of them) and Nottingham are both unfortunately to say, better Uni's than Cardiff.
However, regarding the Universities as a whole, according to the Guardian League Table of Universities, Cardiff is now ranked 46th.
Nottingham Uni isn't used by the Panthers. They use University of Derby (91st), and I believe they may also be starting to use Nottingham Trent (53rd).
Which Uni do Sheffield use? Sheffield Uni is 31st but I thought they used Sheffield Hallam for the actual courses which is ranked 71st.
Cardiff is part of the Russell Group of Universities which are generally considered the top 20 in the country. Whilst Sheffield and Nottingham are both part of the group I really wouldn't rank the two former polys (Hallam and Trent) as being in the same league.
Given the choice most people would choose Cardiff as the most prestigious, indeed I would say that it is one of the better Universities within the Russell Group.
Back on track.... great signing!
