University of Texas is UT, as in UT Austin.  Back when we were utai I remember
people at UT answering requests for software with "well, since you're on
campus, I might as well give it to you on a diskette" :-).

Similar confusion arose in the canadian domain naming scheme, with U de
Montreal and U de Moncton both being called UdeM in their communities.  Maybe
using utoronto would be wiser?
