A university has the right to tell the media what it wants to be called.
LSU has stated repeatedly that it wants to be called LSU.
As for me personally, I don't care if someone just randomly says hey, didn't you go to Louisiana State? I will reply, yeah... I went to LSU.
No big deal.
BUT...
If someone in the media says a score "Louisiana State 10, UCLA 3"... that just pisses me off.
That's different. The media should honor LSU's very simple and reasonable request regarding its own identity.

I don't think that outline you posted is for media/fans etc... looks to be for university departments
If you go to page 44 it talks about the usage in athletics with the same wording quoted a few posts back.
Of course LSU can't control what other's write about them or how it's written but you'd like out of courtesy writers would oblige.

I like being called Louisiana State. Why not use our states name? Stand proud people!
