Talk:Minnesota State

2015 Reverting to Status from 2007
According to the revision history this original redirect was sent to [Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System] in accordance with other similar states that have [state universities]. The second revision by Footballplayr69 changed the redirect to [Minnesota State University, Mankato] because it is commonly known as Minnesota State. The idiom and nickname known by most Minnesotans is that the name Minnesota State is synonymous with the institution.

The history for this is that this institution was the first to be renamed Minnesota State in 1999. Thus in newspapers (like the Startribune, Pioneer Press, etc) and other works Minnesota State is short for Minnesota State University, Mankato. Whereby, MSUM is known as Morehead in newspaper.
