Wait a second, how did you jump from "Illinois-Urbana-Champaign" to "Illinois"? They are not "Illinois"? They are "Illinois-Urbana-Champaign", or "UIUC".
Also, if you go to page 8 of the document at this link...

...you'll notice that there is only one acceptable name for the University of Illinois at Chicago, and that's "UIC". "Illinois-Chicago" is an unacceptable reference according to UIC and its conference: the Horizon League. So show a little respect.
Don't bash me because you're completely unaware of what appropriate names are. UIUC calls itself "Illinois" because they are the self-annointed flagship institution of the state. They certainly aren't my team and I have no desire to have them represent me.
All I'm asking for is consistent naming of schools. If you're going to call the University of Illinois at Chicago "Illinois-Chicago", then it is only correct to call the University of Illinoi at Urbana-Champaign "Illinois-Urbana-Champaign". Calling them "Illinois" is a slap in the face to the other two schools in that system.
You have been corrected for a second time.
Do you not understand what sports teams are? Sports teams have these things called names and when they refer to college sports teams, they are shortened versions of the universities' names. Hence, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is Illinois. The University of Illinois at Chicago is Illinois-Chicago.
And the Office of Corrections, well, he can figure out what he is based on my name.

STFU
Who is Illinois? Illinois comprises three schools: UIUC, UIC, and UIS. You clearly, but incorrectly, refer to UIC as "Illinois-Chicago", but you don't state who the other Illinois school is. I will assume you mean Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. Please be more consistent and use appropriate naming.
Thank you.
