Not completely true because Indiana is actually legally Indiana University, not just a colloquial way to refer to it as in the case of the Big XII schools which really are “The University of ___” and are just referred to informally as the name of their states followed by “University”. That’s not that different from many UK universities that use the standard and Big XII naming conventions interchangeably e.g. Oxford University is actually the University of Oxford but is referred to both ways.

Ha, I've been driving around Ireland for the last 6 days with two friends and one of them actually wondered if we kept seeing Nebraska fans driving around with the N sticker. So funny to see this story.
