I don't think you can make general statements or assumptions about a school based on their name. Texas Tech University has a fine law school (and medical school I think), but the name implies it is an technical school.
Schools with the States name in it are not necessarily public. I believe the University of Southern Califonia is a private school.
I went to Lamar University...many thought it was private because it did not have "State" in the name...Nope, public university.
About the only thing that seems consistent (from my inexperience) is if the school is named Univ. of (State Name) - (City name) they usually $uck at football
