A few A&M designated schools have changed their name, I believe. I know Colorado State was originally Colorado A&M.

Isn't the 3 states Texas, Alabama, and Florida?

Correct with 2 of them being historically black universities

Looks like Arkansas State was originally A&M College and later changed to ASU.

Okie St was A&M too. Most changed it. We didn't. We were proud of who we were. Now it basically our brand that distinguishes us.

Really? You didn't finish the thought with "...and one being a historically gay university"?
This sort of oversight is the reason why TAMU posters are overtaking Arkansas posters as the best LSU trollers on the board.

If someone says A&M, you think...
If someone says State, you think one of or multiples of...
etc...

A good number of former A&M's (or A&x's) became < state > State University.
In addition to some of the ones already listed, here are a few more:
Alcorn State
New Mexico State
Tennessee State (A&I)
even The Ohio State University (LINK )
Prairie View A&M has a very colorful history of renaming that included being a "State" for a time: LINK /

My LSU degree says Agricultural and mechanical college. My dissertation was on the 21st century economic impact of Justin Morrills legislation to copy Michigan State nationwide.

It is pretty crazy how there used to be so many A&M's, but now even on the national airwaves, if someone says "A&M," you know they mean Texas A&M.
