Because at one time virtually all the state schools were called Louisiana State University at “city”. Example: LSUNO was LSU New Orleans. Whereas “LSU” always denoted THE main campus in Baton Rouge.
Maybe my memory has gotten foggy over the years and I am just too lazy to research the individual schools, but this is what I remember – back when I walked 12 miles to school each way, and all uphill.
