I'm not sure this name (Utah University of Technology & Arts) is a good idea... Utah T&A.

So they went with the Cal Poly model. Cal Poly’s full name is California Polytechnic State University. The branding is Cal Poly because Cal Tech was already taken. Utah Polytechnic State University won’t have that problem so Utah Tech it is.

Excellent rebranding choice IMHO.

After the initial suggestion of a new name for Dixie State University caused confusion and even more pushback, the school’s board of trustees have decided to move forward with a clearer option: Utah Tech University.

Board members voted unanimously Tuesday to drop the earlier recommendation of Utah Polytechnic State University and go with the shortened version that they say still captures the technology element they wanted to spotlight.

Seems there’s at least one more hurdle for this name changed to get approved. Not 100% sure of timeline but presume this means Dixie State won’t change until 22-23 unless they have jerseys, signage and the whole thing just available with the UTech moniker

“Tech” just sounds tacky to me when used in a school’s official name.

I stand by it! "Utah Tech University" is tacky.

I actually think Utah Valley shouldn't have shed the Utah Tech name. UTU has symmetry. And, UTU, UT, and U-Tech all works well for school marketing. Dixie State should take the Utah Tech name and run with it.



Also, I think Tarleton State should drop "State" from it's name and just go by Tarleton for its sports teams; much like how Stephen F. Austin and Middle Tennessee have dropped "State" when referenced. They should just be called the Tarleton Texans and their uniforms shouldn't have "State" on them. I think this works well for marketing. Just my opinion.

100% agree!!!!!!

Most Tarleton fans don’t use use state when using the name and I wish the uniforms didn’t display the name. The name Tarleton is a unique brand and doesn’t need the state dragging behind it.

Let me get this straight. Utah Valley previously was named Utah Tech? That is going to make for some confusing history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Valley_University

Yea there were a lot of Utah Technical College at XXX campuses. I always thought one of them would have graduated to flagship status for Utah Tech. Most of them are still small regional tech locations that have adopted local names. Davis Applied Tech, Bridgerland Applied Tech, etc.

I always thought that Utah Valley University was a name that sold itself short. Especially if they wanted to attract more attention to itself beyond Utah County. Utah Valley wasn't even a recognized name on any state maps as a geographical location. To this day, UVU has the reputation of being a feeder school to students who want into BYU, but couldn't get in at the time.

IMHO UVU should have completed their plans they had when they were trying to get into the Big Sky and sponsored a FCS football team. Currently along the Wasatch Front (where the bulk of Utah's population resides) Dixie State gets more attention than Utah Valley. I believe football attracts more attention than UVU's college soccer team plan.

For the most part we do. Students and Alumni just call it "Tarleton". The athletic website is TarletonSports.com not TarletonStateSports

It is the Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame
Tarleton Memorial Stadium

Football Jerseys say "Tarleton" or "Texans" - https://dbukjj6eu5tsf.cloudfront.net/tar...e_Pros.jpg

WBB says "Tarleton" - https://tarletonsports.com/images/2020/1...width=1600

Baseball- https://twitter.com/TarletonBase/status/...7559141376

Softball- https://tarletonsports.com/images/2020/1...width=1600

Tennis - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0Ke0eGXMAAS_3U.jpg


The only one that seems to hold onto the "Tarleton State" name is Men's Basketball. However, when you look at their Twitter - its "Tarleton MBB" https://twitter.com/tarletonmbb/

Everything says "Tarleton" not "Tarleton State". images on the website show players holding the basketball with the "Tarleton" brand open to the camera while "State" is cut off or covered.

RE: Dixie State's new name...
Dixie State should be called Utah Poly. Utah Tech copies Utah Valley's old name and it is a corporate woke name. Poly does sound a little like polygamy but it honors something unique about the region after they just whitewashed out Dixie which is unique to the region and has nothing to do w/ slavery.
