Tallahassee, FL (Florida State)

I would throw Lexington, Kentucky on that list b/c the state capitol is only 20 miles from downtown and a large number of those state workers live in Lexington or its surrounding towns (Georgetown, Versailles)

The OP should exclude Madison if he/she is going to exclude Austin. They both have decent industries outside of the capital and the college.

Madison - great school, great athletics, awesome state (not that I am biased or anything ). It is just a fun place to be.
