I disagree: the wiki article about lsu gives the complete history of it, including all 5 different names. All of this is sourced, so it is reliable. Unsourced verbiage on wiki is usually removed very quickly, especially when it involves higher profile subjects. But even the really low-level articles are watched by folks and will be corrected eventually.

Well, it is possible that a school refers to itself other than what it’s legal name is, right?

Sure, absolutely.

However, a yearbook is usually the fastest document to pounce on any change, and LSU's yearbook is silent on the change for all the years mentioned.
