Here's another big stat....
"Top Public Colleges for Getting Rich" -- A&M is #9 in the country, #1 in Texas and #1 in the SEC. Texas is #16 in the country. The schools ranked in front of A&M and Texas are mainly California schools (and U of Illinois) and if you adjust their salaries for Cost of Living, we vault up the polls, but that convolutes the argument so I'll just use hard salaries. We rank ahead of UNC, Virginia, Michigan and Texas.
No other SEC schools were top 25.
No. 9: Texas A&M University
Experience
Median Salary
0 to 5 years
$49,700
10 to 20 years
$96,100
Top Earners*
$171,000
*Ten percent of grads with 10 to 20 years experience earn more than this amount.

Can't this be largely attributed to you having a much higher % of students majoring in engineering? Seeing how the average starting salary of just about every engineering major is over 50k/year, this is obviously going to skew the numbers more.
What I would be more interested in is the started salary of strictly engineering majors and how this compares to engineering majors from other schools. I don't think you are going to see that much of a difference.
