Adding the "The" in first place is sofa king pretentious.

LOL!

 

Whoever put that "video" together sure didn't look closely!  The very opening frame is from the University of Wisconsin Student Section sitting in Section "O"!  Look close enough and you will see "Jump Around", "Badgers", "Wisconsin" and the iconic forward motion "W".  Took a screen shot and put it below.

On the radio (espn u show on xm) I heard in 2002 the national media jumped on "the U" vs "the Ohio State" and that made it more common. I actually don't remember an increase in the usage after 2002, it might be espn making themselves more important in the story
