In the SEC and the South, the University of Mississippi IS Ole Miss.

Exactly! Right now "Ole Miss" IS an official school name and that's why the SEC, etc, referes to us as such. That's what the current chancellor wants to change. He wants to eliminate Ole Miss as a legal name, leaving only the (bland & generic) University of Mississippi as the official & legal school name.
