Lexington is a city, but UK is a prominent part of the city. Same for Knoxville and Baton Rouge. Same for Columbia. Nashville has reached major city IMO, and Vanderbilt is just a slice of it.
Athens and Tuscaloosa and Gainesville are cities where the college drives the city.
Oxford, Auburn, Starkville, and Fayetteville are college towns IMO, although Auburn, Oxford and Fayetteville all seem to be booming and may soon not be so quaint.

Wiki said Gainesville only has 125,000 in it. Are their sister cities in the region that significantly add to that number?

Fayetteville proper will always be quaint. Now, if you drive north, the landscape changes tremendously. As a student who began school there in 1989 I cannot begin tell you the amount of change that has occurred. It was fun then and has exceeded what I thought possible over the years. Dickson and downtown are glorious and beautiful. I hope most of you come up a time or two to experience all it has to offer.

Agree to disagree here.

What exactly do you define as a "major" city? Nashville is not a large nor a economic powerhouse. They may be up and coming, but major? No way.
