It's like the flying M when I was growing up. My Dad loved it but it didn't mean anything to me really.

Lastely, there was a major college football twitter poll this past season, sorry, I don't recall who now, that had a twitter poll asking when you hear MSU who do you think of, Mississippi State or Michigan State? It was overwhelmelingly Michigan State. Tying our branding identity to "MSU" is a losing battle and I think administration knows that and has probably been advised so.
Just my two cents.
Disagree on the interlocking MSU. I see wayyyyyyy more interlocking MSU merch amongst the young crowd than I do the Script state.
