University of Alabama in the same way University of Georgia does it would be UAL (Alabama- AL; U of AL)
Unless the A is for Athens, which he clearly discussed in the OP.

Yeah, I was doing it how Georgia actually does it, not the way OP thinks they do. I'm completely aware The University of Alabama's in Tuscaloosa

Because the official name of the University is "University of Georgia"

Schools that add the city name have the city name in their official title

Ex. Tennessee is "The University of Tennessee, Knoxville"

For frick sake I am not even arguing that it is 100% the meaning of the A. It would make sense for it to be either. When you see something that says UGA - University of Georgia Athens, it does make you step back and reassess the situation though. From that point on I figured it was for Athens. If not then so be it.

University of GeorgiA? Or GA as in the postal code?

One of my favorites is UVM for Vermont. The name comes from Universitas Viridis Montis, which is Latin for University of the Green Mountains.

This board has gotten noticeably dumber this offseason. Even by offseason standards this thread is fricking horrible.

Using a postal code in your official name is the outlyer. Putting your cities initial is not. That is why there can be confusion.
