By default, then, wouldn’t that make Tennessee State actually West Tennessee State, and Middle Tennessee State just Tennessee State?
Technically, yes. But let’s be honest, we can’t expect too much from a state with the directional wherewithal to vaguely name a school “Middle Tennessee State.” That’s kind of like calling your school “By-the-Interestate-University” or “On That One Mountain Technical Institute.” Everyone just pretends that it makes sense, and so should you. It’s not like anyone cares where anything is located in Tennessee anyway.
