FWIW in 1996 East Texas State University was renamed TAMU-Commerce when it
joined the TAMU System. Then in the summer of 2024 TAMU-Commerce and TAMU System decided to rename the school again so it would "more accurately brand the school and reflect the university's mission to recruit future college students in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex as well as Northeast Texas."
I guess it makes sense (kind of) since the TAMU System also has West Texas A&M University in Canyon, TX, Texas A&M–Central Texas in Killeen, Texas, and Texas A&M International University in Laredo, TX.

Shouldn't have a big impact. ACC fans are too busy watching P2 games**

"East Texas A&M": They should even be allowed to name a college that.
