I think the article answered your question. It’s pretentious. IMO it’s dumb and arrogant. Aside from football, what are they known for?

Slippery slope thing. :) Next thing we know Ohio University will append their name to be “The Best Ohio University”.

Then schools will want to trademark “The Supreme”, “The Phenomenal” etc.

But what would be fun is if Univ of South Carolina went for the name “THE REAL USC”...LOL
