this is very traditional in the south. Almost all states had colleges with a goal of training the militia's officer corps. I'm a little surprised Clemson did just bc I know that's the mission of The Citadel but I suppose some of the older states had multiples (VMI, VaTech, GMI, and I think UGA too).

Yeah our students almost got in a shootout with their cadets after a game way back in the day.
