That depends on where you live and where you go to school. And, of course, whether you're talking about sports.

Besides, my point really isn't about which "OU" is the most famous, but rather that the use of names instead of letters is really necessary to tell a story.

Most Journalism schools say to use the full name in the first mention, then go to initials if you care to.
