Because they steal our stuff anytime and anywhere they can -- not to mention our name.  Did you know the song that has the lyrics, "Round on the ends, High in the middle, O-HI-O" was written by a former student specifically for Ohio University, but for years was used by A&M.  Fortunately, the Local Girls in Athens found out the truth about the song and have used it in their repertoire of Ohio University songs now for several years. The man who wrote the song was Frank Crumit, a native of Jackson, Ohio.  What's interesting about this is that he attended OHIO for several years and then transferred to A&M, where he graduated.  He also wrote "Buckeye BattleCry" specifically for A&M. So, A&M just assumed that all of the songs that he wrote that mention "Ohio" were written about them.

Here's an excerpt from the November, 1941 edition of The Ohio Alumnus that talks about this song and Frank Crumit's return to campus for homecoming:

Frank Crumit, '12x, New York City, nationally-known radio and stage star, introduced by the Alumni Secretary as "guest of the day," joined the band trio in singing his own composition, "Round on the Ends, High in the Middle, O-HI-O." The musical interlude was concluded with the band's thrilling arrangement of "Alma Mater, Ohio." 

Frank Crumit, star of "Tangerine," "No, No, Nanette," and other Broadway musical comedies, is now, with his wife, Julia Sanderson, who was also a Broadway luminary, featured in the NBC quiz program, "The Battle of The Sexes." 

Besides "Round on the Ends," Crumit has written another song for his alma mater, "OH And lO." In the accompanying picture he is shown (right) standing beside his portrait with the artist, James Montgomery Flagg. The portrait was painted for the famous Lamb's Club in New York City, composed predominently of actors and piaywrights, of which Mr. Crumit is a former president.
