Tradition. If it has "State" in the name it's always "Blah State U.", but if it doesn't, it could go either way. Most seem to prefer "University of Blah" Michigan Texas North Carolina Florida Georgia Illinois California Chicago Houston but some prefer "Blah U."

Just seems to roll off the tongue better.
