Is there any difference in terms of liscencing, the ability of the organization which is benefitting from using the mark in commerce, etc in having one over the other?
no, it only affects enforcement.
Usually, organizations register before/when they sue an infringer because more remedies are available if it's registered.
Otherwise, it really doesn't matter if they register it or not

Kind of what I assumed. LSU came at me HARD when I was selling some shirts and I was VERY careful to not use anything I knew or assumed to be an LSU mark. My trouble came in when wanted to call the shirts GeauxTiger Graphics or something. They jumped my arse for using GeauxTiger because they USE Geaux Tigers but don;t technically have it copyrighted in the sense that you mentioned. they went so far as to suggest any use of a Tiger in conjunction with the colors purple and/or gold would cause them to pursue it.
Thanks for the info, btw.
