Masculine "L" and the institution's title has TWO articles, i.e., l'université de l'état de l'ohio ... should they insist on including the word "state".

Variant: l'université de l'Ohio ... still TWO masculine definite articles ("L").

So, they could tour France as L' L' ?

A friend of mine has been trying to win a lawsuit that's been going on for 20 years as OSU wanted exclusive rights over something that he had already been granted a trademark on. They have lots of lawyers and lots of money
