The Only Flagship School and ULL's branding change

Im not sure if it bothers any of y'all, but I cannot stand people calling ULL the "University of Louisiana."
I find it very disrespectful to LSU and its brand. Louisiana-Lafayette (or USL) is a directional school that will never have the resources, brand recognition, or donor support to compete at LSU's level.
This name change crap started under Sunbelt Billy, and unfortunately continues to this day. IMO its disingenuous. Time for LSU admin to state theres only one true "state wide" "flagship" institution...everything/everyone else is a directional has been/wannabe.
*Edit: Maybe my concern is individuals claiming they have a degree (using that terminology). I went to the state institution and received my diploma. I LOATHE the comparison.*

They are ULL, and they suck

Every article, commentator calls them "Louisiana" or "University of Louisiana"

Who cares about what they call themselves

They’ve been trying to accomplish this for two decades now. Go to bed

Ok
Why lose sleep over this?

I don't care. Everyone knows what LSU is, let them do their thing.

LSU could give a shite less on what this little gnat chooses to call itself. They will always be ULL to me.

ULM > ULL

They’ve been doing this for 4 decades. Started in the mid ‘80s.

It’s incredible how many people get ate up with this. LSU is the big dog in the state. That’s not changing.

I always refer to the school as USL and 100% of the people know what I’m talking about.

Are you really this clueless?
Posted on 9/1/23 at 9:50 pm to BayouBengal21
the whole thing is funny to me, like should we call ULM “Louisiana” too?

What's annoying about it is that ULL only got the name approved by agreeing to 2 terms:
1. They had to refer to themselves with Lafayette part included, as in ULL or "University of Louisiana Lafayette", and
2. They couldn't be the only University of Louisiana ____ in the state, hence ULM.

The best thing Southeastern ever did was turn down the ULH branding. (University of Louisiana Hammond)

This is a dumb take on the level of some pussy UL fans mad that LSU is the flagship.
