U of Tennessee & U of Florida are also Land Grant colleges ala 1862 Morrill Act. All Land Grant colleges were mandated to teach Military Science for 100 years, thus compulsory ROTC until 1970s.
As is UGA as well. I left those three off because they were (at least UGA and UT, I think UF) were well established state universities for 75 years or more before the Morrill Act. The others pretty well owe their existence or at least a major part of their post Civil War growth to it.
