Actually these schools are all state of Michigan funded public
universities, as are Ferris State, Western Michigan, Northern
Michigan, Michigan Tech. and some others who don't have Div. I
hockey teams.  I think it's the same concept as in other states
like Wisconsin except that, in Wisconsin, every state funded
university is part of the UofW system.  Here, apparently we
retain our individual university names.
 
The only case of similar names for hockey teams we have is
with the University of Michigan which has the Wolverines of
UofM-Ann Arbor (referred to as Michigan) and another team
(not Div. I) team at the Dearborn campus (referred
to as UofM-Dearborn).
