Why do some states have satellite schools and others don't?

A couple states like California, Texas, New York, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. set it up where you have a BOT governing multiple campuses. UCSB, UTSA, SUNY, UAB, AUM, UTC, etc.
Then you have so many other states who have separate BOTs for each school that determine the direction of each institution.
Seems like every institution should be able to govern itself.

Joint curriculum
Sometimes a research center just grows until they're offering their own courses and tuition.
Like Auburn has fisheries and labs in Dauphin Island. If enough resources are diverted there for whatever reason, it becomes more of a standalone institution. May even start offering courses, but it's still part of Auburn.
The medical school at UAB is actually split between UA, UAB, and UAH.

I believe Georgia public schools are all completely connected.

Why do some states decide to go that route and others don't?
For example in Georgia, there is no UG in Athens and a UGA in Atlanta and UGS in Savannah. There's no UF in Gainesville and UFT in Tampa. All the schools are separate. Just curious as why certain states go this route and others don't.

I don't think that's accurate. UGA, GT, GSU, KSU, GCSU, VSU, etc. all govern themselves.

Did schools like UGA and UF not have research centers like the other states? And if they did, when did they separate?

Pooling resources can increase efficiency. There's a lot of infrastructure that sits behind running a university.

UGA in Atlanta
Interestingly enough, Georgia State went by UGA-Atlanta before it became a standalone institution in the 1960s (and it originally started in 1913 as Tech's Evening School of Commerce).

University Systems.
The A&M and Texas systems are each governed by a separate Board of Regents, not Trustees.

Genuine interest, and didn't want it turning into a flame fest.
