No one is ignorant to the fact that they want to be recognized as UL. I understand from a branding stance why they would do that.

It’s just lame as hell because they are trying to take the shortcut by just beating over the head of everyone that they NEED to be called that because they filed a trademark, instead of doing what literally every other University of State school did and get the accreditation to be the flagship school of that state system.

It’s just Louisiana politics in a nut shell, always take the easiest short cut possible.

Why are you guys so insecure about another state school’s name? This is a direct quote from your chancellor in 1984.

LSU Chancellor Wharton says he fought the USL name change because it was threatening LSU’s dominion as the “flagship” university.

Giving it a new name alone would increase USL’s ability to compete for national attention in academics and funding and “we cannot take very much more competition,” Wharton said. “If it leads to further competition, I don’t think LSU can survive as the flagship university”.

Pretty pathetic for a “flagship”, this is Louisiana politics.

Literally?

Flagship universities

Ohio:
Ohio State University

New Jersy:
Rutgers

So most.

Plus there is no way they would be allowed to be named a flagship university in Louisiana, there is only one and will always be only one. As it probably should be.
