the rest of the country refers to ULL as Louisiana

do they? They've only called themselves "Louisiana" for like 5 years, although they've wanted to for much longer. There was actually litigation between ULM and ULL on that issue. I don't think the rest of the country gives them enough thought to know what they call them, which can be said about basically every G5 directional state school. And believe it or not the original "University of Louisiana" was...Tulane, when it was founded in 1847

UL-Lafayette is the official name of the university. After enough begging, they convinced sports networks to call them "Louisiana".
