the Aggie connection is very real
In my expierance, the only time where your degree is from matters is for entry level positions, and it doesn't matter if that degree is from Vandy, Cal, or an Ivy League. We all understand there is very little difference between those top tier schools, so a Compter Science degree from say Georgia Tech means more than one from Georgia Southern, but it isn't like anyone is pulling up the Princeton Review to see if Vanderbilt had a higher rating than Washington University in St. Louis when comparing applicants.
And after you have 5+ years expierance, we don't care if your degree is from MIT or ITT Tech, your work history means everything.

No. Nepotism is when you hire a family member or close friend over a more qualified applicant.
What you stated is called "networking".

From what I've seen...where your degree is from matters for either entry level positions for most jobs or for the highest level positions in scientific research.
If I'm a director looking for a Physicist to work on developing a Neutrino Measurement Apparatus...I'm going to look at someone with a PhD from Stanford, Cal Tech, Harvard, or Cornell before someone from Southern Miss or Delaware State.
Also...school rankings are fine...but it is the program rankings that really matter for what you are studying. Let's take Physics (since I mentioned it above)...here are the SEC program rankings for graduate Physics Programs:
13. Texas
38. Vanderbilt (t)
38. Florida (t)
47. aTm
55. Tennessee
73. LSU
78. Oklahoma
89. Georgia (t)
89. Kentucky (t)
105. Auburn (t)
105. MIZZOU (t)
113. USCe (t)
113. Bama (t)
136. Arkansas
146. Ole Miss (t)
146. MSU (t)
