So that we can reinstate the old order of eminence-based science? I think the funding system should be rather be more anonymous, more global, more detached from local elites ... like universities, organization close to government/administration etc. You mustn't forget that universities are only one player of many in the science system. And the main task of some universities rather is education and not research.
