hrm. interesting.

This seems like it might be confusing for people- they will think it is two different places or that one doesn't exist... ;)

It should transition over nicely. Still has Central, Missouri, and University in common. It was prompted by another competing division 2 school wanting to be called Missouri State and thus they sounded bigger and better. See in MO they have University of Missouri-(Kansas City, Rolla, Columbia, St Louis and more) but no Missouri State and all the division 2 schools were called Central, NorthEast, NorthWest, SouthWest and more. So when one of the other 'directional' schools wanted to take the title of Missouri State, when CMSU was in deed the largest of all the division 2's in MO, CMSU had to fight back for fear of losing perceived credibility and loss of enrollment.
