A question for state schoolers

[Dionysus]

Has your school ever changed names while you were attending or after you graduated? Has another school in your system changed names? Specifically, has any school (yours or another in your system) went from University of X-State at X-City to just University of X-State...or X-State University? How did you feel about this?

I guess a simple answer would be that whatever school decides to call themselves University of X-State will alienate the rest of the schools within the system. It kind of implies that they were the first established and/or the most important/prestigious university. Even if it is true (it pretty much is most of time), the other colleges within the system won't appreaciate the name change.

The above aside, what other advantages will a school gain if they change their name? What disadvantages will the name change effect the other schools within the system?
