Alan, sorry, but you know you've been in LA for too long when you're a
sportswriter and you know who the Kardashian girls are.

I tend to agree with your original argument, though.  I used to get upset
whenever I saw "NWU" up in the corner of the screen, but recently I can deal
with it since most people can easily figure out which school you're talking
about; meanwhile, multiple schools can lay claim to "NU" which may lead to
confusion.  Heck, prior to 2000, Northwestern's internet domain was nwu.edu.
