Back then the seperate Uni and Poly sytems were beginning their combination and BUSA was just off the drawing board. The basic rejection was due to 'not enough interest'. This conclusion was formed on the results of a questionnaire sent to all (BSSF, ie Unis, I think) member establishments and having only X% return the questionnaire, of which only Y% actually had a team established and Z% were interested in hearing more. X, Y and Z were deemed insignificant numbers at the time. Part of my reason for approaching BSSF at the time was that if we could get the 'student' part of Ultimate recognised, events like the Student Regionals/Nationals and further things like Student Leagues would have the additional site/administration resources and maybe funding and seem more 'serious'. The other part was that if we could go to the Sports Council and say "the students are taken seriously" we might have an extra foot on the ladder. I'd suggest that you contact the necessary BUF personnel (Student Coordinator [Dave Barnard], BUF Secretary [Ben Ravillious - a man who must have inherited lots of informative files], Publicity Officer [Jon Hope], and maybe Dave 'Sammy' Neilson and Ian 'Scott' Scotland) to get as much background and progress detail as possible.
