Why did this usage ever catch on?

The federal government did not give ("grant") coastline or through the sale of shores shore up money for these universities. This is what the term "land-grant" meant: the donation or sale of federal lands with the land or proceeds used to create a university for the public interest.

Similarly, the federal government did not give "space" to universities to establish "space universities."
