Notes
  1. Cossacks Stadium would be renamed in 2002 to Seawolf Stadium when the University changed the name of the mascot to Seawolves.
  2. California State University, East Bay was known as California State University, Hayward from 1972 to 2004.
  3. The official name of Chico State has been California State University, Chico since 1972. However, it is still commonly known as Chico State.

gollark: I ran it through Google's PageSpeed Insights thing, and that was the thing it complained most about.
gollark: ... is your website pulling in 250KB of in-browser Lua VM on every page and not using `async`/`defer` for it?
gollark: Although you could *sort of* do those things with a static site too.
gollark: Mine is designed as a mostly-static website, which doesn't do either of those.
