Interesting nomenclature. Imagine if all state universities in Ohio did that.

The SUNY system is huge, and Buffalo having D1 athletics makes them the only one that is really distinguishable from the others.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I thought it was on there last year too.. Guess not.    Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,391 Status: Offline     RE: State University of NEW YORK at Buffalo    Posted: 11/6/2013 11:07:57 PM  Did anyone notice when the TV talent was discussing the name, they threw up a graphic that said The State University of New York.

When I first started following the MAC, I was confused by just who "Buffalo" was. I knew about SUNY, and knew there was a SUNY-Buffalo, but it initially didn't occur to me that "Buffalo" was simply "SUNY-Buffalo" without the SUNY. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,743 Status: Offline     RE: State University of NEW YORK at Buffalo    Posted: 11/7/2013 10:04:55 AM  And, to confuse matters, there is also a smaller state school in Buffalo, called Buffalo State University.  And, according to their web site, Buff State is the "oldest institution of higher learning in the City of Buffalo."  The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Officially, "Buffalo State, The State University of New York." ....and UB is actually officially known as "University at Buffalo, The State University of New York." There is also a CUNY (City University of New York) system that receives funding from the state as well. Also, of note that Rutgers is a system as well. Officially, "Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey." The flagship, and largest, campus is in New Brunswick--and is what most people are familiar with. There are also locations in Newark and Camden. Additionally, there are public universities in NJ that are not part of the Rutgers system. For example, Rowan University in Glassboro is officially just "Rowan University" and was formerly Glassboro State College. More recently, I've noticed some use of the branding style "Rowan University: The State University of South Jersey" which is an obvious way to try to garner the same kind of respect that Rutgers gets as the state's "flagship" institution.
