Actually not true. Did a test of this in California on a business trip……mentioned UT and the person automatically assumed Knoxville

This totally happened.

Tennessee should continue to go by "UT". They were founded first by almost 100 years and are founding members of the conference. They should retain that symbol.


Hell, the University of Tennessee predates the EXISTENCE of Texas as a State by a half century.

I also did a test of my own.
I was once in a Tokyo Japan classroom and asked 72, 8 year old children about the term "UT". Every single one of them associated "UT" with The University of Texas at Austin!

We have had numerous threads about this. The consensus is pretty overwhelming

UT is founding member Tennessee

UTx or UTa or whatever the hell they want.


I vote for calling them UTI, or Low UT.
