Texas A&M is one of only like 5-6 schools that provide a direct path to commissioned officers via ROTC outside of the academy schools. VMI, Va Tech, Citadel, North Georgia, and probably a cpl others Im forgetting. Alabama A&M maybe?
I would put Texas A&M overall school spirit at the very top of the food chain in the SEC. Above Bama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, everybody. Aggie students and grads are very very close-knit -- part of it their despise of the Univ. Texas. Its a football school, but they get big crowds for a lot of other sports including baseball, soccer, and others. I think basketball suffers attendance issues at most Texas schools -- Baylor and UT have had their problems despite very good programs. Baylor WBB and Texas WBB might outdraw all of them. Texas is so football focused, its almost its own planet.
