Not to mention Texas, with UT, TA&M, Texas Tech all "full-sized" public state schools (not to mention about 10 others without Texas in the name and 5 more private schools, all as big as UConn). (Heck, I bet there are subsidiary schools of both UT and TA&M with as much enrollment as Connecticut.!)
There are seventeen state supported schools in the University of North Carolina system.

Appalachian State University
East Carolina University
Elizabeth City State University
Fayetteville State University
North Carolina A & T University
North Carolina Central University
North Carolina School of Math & Science
North Carolina State University
University of North Carolina - Asheville
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
University of North Carolina - Charlotte
University of North Carolina - Greensboro
University of North Carolina - Pembroke
University of North Carolina - Wilmington
North Carolina School of the Arts
Western Carolina University
Winston-Salem State University

UNC-CH is commonly referred to as the University of North Carolina because it is the oldest state supported university in the state, as well as the nation.

There are also 36 privates four-year institutions, many church affiliated. Among them:

Davidson College
Duke University
Campbell University
Wake Forest University

I always thought that East Carolina was located in the state of East Carolina.

The word is that they tried to once, but that the University of Illinois folks kept breaking their crayons when they went to sign the contracts to set up more games between the two teams.

The War for Southern Independence took care of that.

I grew up in North Carolina and learned there is State(NCSU) and Carolina(UNC-CH). I moved to South Carolina and was amazed at how many "Carolina" fans there were in SC. I soon learned that South Carolinians mistakenly refer to USC as Carolina. I corrected them that USC is in California and Carolina is in North Carolina. All this time they thought ESPN was referring to their beloved schools when Carolina or USC was mentioned.

Reminds me of my years in Knoxville -- to us, UT will *always* be Tennessee, no matter what those idiots on ESPN say.

I was referencing the REGION.

As for New York, is there a University of New York? I only know of State University of New York.
