View Full Version : Is there an official/unofficial list of all team abbreviations somewhere in AGS?

I was just wondering if there was an official or unofficial list of FCS team abbreviations (e.g., ISUb = Indiana State, ISUr = Illinois State) in AGS somewhere. I tried a search, but did not have much luck. Any help is appreciated.

Never seen one. I just tried to pick it up from reading other conferences' threads. The ESPN ones are horrible when looking at their app for scores. Maybe we need one.

I don't think there is one because as long as I've been here this is the place that I have seen these used. I think it was just developed here but I have no idea if that thought is correct.

When I put together my Power BI report to compare team stats I did put together a list of all the teams with a "short name" that may or not be useful depending on what you're looking for. I tried to avoid ISU/MSU/etc where it could be ambiguous as to which one you meant so it's not true abbreviations in a lot of cases. I can share the xlsx I have it all in as well if you want. It's unofficial at best.

As a Furman fan - most of us abbreviate Furman as FU!

When it is not possible to use "PSU" for Portland State, it is common to use "PortSt" (drop the "land", no space and "St" for State). I've seen "PDXST" used but very seldom (and not recently). "PSU" or "PortSt" is most common.

Maybe it was here, maybe it was on another site. Some guy kept insisting that for St Thomas it was STU instead of UST. I kept telling him otherwise as I had worked summer camps there. I even posted the message from their sports information guy confirming use of UST. The guy still didn't buy it even after that.

I put one together. Some schools don't have abbreviations so they are listed as "n/a."
And some have unofficial Bison fan abbreviations - that would be anything in parentheses - for example, like Illinois State is officially "ISU" but Bison fans call them "ISU-Red" so the listing is "ISU (Red)".

Edit: the conferences and coaches might not be correct - the whole ASUN/Big South/WAC thing is a cluster.

PVAMU is a copyrighted brand of the school but we also refer to it as PVU or just simply PV.

Jacksonville State will use JSU a lot. JSU is the .edu address.
This helps add to the confusion with Jackson State.

They’re the same school.
The short name is just Jackson Sate.

I guess it is hard for Jax State to use COCK as their abbreviation.

Northwestern State uses NSULA for theirs officially but everyone else does NWST

For us, "The Citadel" is the abbreviation. Because we are "The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina" officially.

I watched Southeastern Louisiana play volleyball at SDSU on Friday. SLU on the shirts but I keep thinking of them as SELA.

Guess it’s a good thing they’re not Southeastern Louisiana University Teachers School, huh?

When I was a lot younger someone told me about Furman as Furman University of Christian Knights.
