they want to push the NC State as the brand, not NCSU

they felt that NCSU was still too similar to UNC

"In 1962, administrators tried to change State College to North Carolina State University, but Governor Terry Sanford and other UNC system officials proposed The University of North Carolina at Raleigh for consistency.

Faculty, students and alumni immediately launched a bitter opposition campaign, arguing that the name would cause the university to lose its identity and to appear to be a branch of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The name was never adopted. Instead the General Assembly changed the name to North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh in 1963. Not satisfied, protest and letter writing campaigns continued until 1965 when the university received the present name North Carolina State University at Raleigh. Convention ignores the "at Raleigh" part of the name, but it is still in the official name

--wikipedia
"



Holy hell what a disaster of a name. what was wrong with those people? Even Terry Sanford had a huge cock in his ass, too.

Thank you NCSU students, faculty, and alum, from 1964. We are forever in your debt.

How? I don't see that. They would both appear to be branches of University of North Carolina... which they actually are. Does SUNY-Binghamton appear to be a branch of SUNY-Buffalo? No, they both appear to be branches of SUNY.

i think i remember that there was a choice for UNC-Raleigh on something i filled out for college. seems like it was where you wanted your SAT scores sent or something.
