It think it sounds really pretentious.

While we don't use our "The," Ohio University was called The Ohio University when founded in 1804.

We're nice, though, and allow our younger sister to use it -- even though they tried to copyright the word "Ohio" a few years ago.

How crass.
Younger sister who is bigger, better and has a far higher reputation than the party school in the hills.
