I think it's just a convention for the states in that area. For similar reasons, you see ones like:

University of Nebraska = NU
University of Kansas = KU (this one is also to avoid confusion with Kentucky)
University of Missouri = MU

Same thing with the University of Colorado- CU.

Less well known, but in Oklahoma the University of Tulsa is always referred to as TU.
