Just curious as to why its ok for you to do it but not for them.

I'm an outsider who doesn't understand and I personally refer to them at Louisiana. As a conference mate, here is your chance to change my opinion.

Ruston is not part, nor has ever been, of Louisiana Tech University's name. The link the Cajun fan refers merely designates the location of each university in Louisiana. Contrary to their claim, Ruston is not a part of the name. They (Cajun fans) are merely trying to muddy the waters in their defense of their "preferred name." The situation with the ULX's is confusing and is a situation the Cajuns instigated when requesting a name change. If you want honest and reliable information about Louisiana Tech, don't expect it from ULL or ULM.

How do you figure ? If it was indicating where the University was located it would read as Louisiana Tech University in Ruston or Southeastern University in Hammond not at Hammond. Also when it reads as Northwestern State University of Louisiana at Natchitoches, is Louisiana is part of it's name or just where Northwestern State is located? I would have to say it is part of it's name, just like the city is part of the official name of Northwestern State University.

Because on the ULsystem website it reads as Northwestern State University. Not Northwestern State University of Louisiana at Natchitoches.
