Minnesota should follow and trademark "the U" to avoid confusion with another school in the south.
They definitely cannot succeed with this. The fsct that they're even trying shows that college sports should probably be burned down. The arrogance and narcissism to believe this would ever succeed is beyond measure.
They're not looking to trademark the literal word. They're looking to trademark it when used with the university's name on items marketed for sale (The Ohio State University™). Still might fail, but it's not as completely outlandish as it has been made to seem from most reports.
Oh man... I can about imagine the internet drama.
Gonna need a bigger bag...

Any chance we can pronounce it Thuh Ohio State instead of Thee Ohio State?
"Like other institutions, Ohio State works to vigorously protect the university's brand and trademarks," Davey told The Columbus Dispatch in a statement. "These assets hold significant value, which benefits our students and faculty and the broader community by supporting our core academic mission of teaching and research."
Huh? How?

I imagine their noses get bent out of shape when players from other schools use "The" during player introductions in NFL games, etc. I love it when they're tweaked like that. Hopefully THE United States of America will be able to show first use
A cool T-shirt of OSU would be (probably what they are thinking) would be just the word "THE" in buckeye red along with a little buckeye helmet sticker symbol on the side. That would fly off the shelves.
Would they need to Trademark "THE" to make that T-shirt? Lawyers?

What I think they are really trying to trademark is ‘The OSU’, which would most likely get Oklahoma State and Oregon State to push back.
