If you do some digging, you will find that the official name of the school is “Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.”
New York is a possibility too....although there is a SUNY, there is no “main” campus, and they’re not Division I. Also New York University, but so far as I know, that’s in reference to the city rather than the state.
Louisiana has University of Louisiana Monroe (the former Northeast Louisiana), and Louisiana Lafayette (the former Southwest Louisiana)...neither is the “main” campus.
Nevada Reno is actually the main campus, although Nevada Las Vegas is a bigger campus now. For that matter, UCLA might be bigger than Berkeley.
I was referring to using the state name as the moniker in sports. There are many schools in each state that could be considered the flagship campus, but only two states don’t have a school that uses the state name to refer to a specific school in sports.

Yes, as I noted it is the State U of NJ, but they go by Rutgers.

All of the SUNY schools use thier location name as their moniker. NYU is a private university that has very little sports to begin with.
Louisiana has University of Louisiana Monroe (the former Northeast Louisiana), and Louisiana Lafayette (the former Southwest Louisiana)...neither is the “main” campus.
Louisiana is a sticky wicket to this as they have a couple of schools that use Louisiana that are smaller than LSU which is pretty much goes by LSU.

Nevada Reno is Nevada in the sports world. Sports wise Berkeley is California which I did not know was the same school until a couple of years ago. The school has two different personalities.
