I don't think those things are similar at all lol. It's not really a compromise they made its just a common branding approach taken by various college athletic programs and we sure as heck didn't compromise anything to be known as "TXST" our schools name is actually Texas State. TXST is also simply a better acronym than TSU. There are a ton of other TSUs none of whom we want to be confused for.Tha
that is because they are Louisiana Lafayette. *Only* the athletics department is allowed to be called Louisiana. This was part of the compromise allowing them to use that branding. Kind of like how when we became Texas state the short form is TXSt not TSU.
