Probably because Auburn, Alabama is such a world renowned destination that they felt it would improve their image

We wanted it to be as little associated with the state of Alabama as possible.

It’s a good question.
I always appreciate historical perspectives—particularly, since I’m relatively new to the SEC.
Kinda surprised by the responses, to be honest.

Auburn people got tired of drawing pictures so Bammers could understand.

I figured that was the reason.
It’s why the A and M in our university’s name no longer have any meeting, beyond historical preservation.

Auburn was not just a technical university anymore. A very old term that include vocational training.

They made the mistake of assuming people would remember what state they were in. Overestimated their relevance

Or trying to get away from it.

Wanted to change their name and they felt that East Alabama Correctional Facility just didn't have the ring to it that Auburn University did.
