From the article:
I'm not sure to what degree it skews the data, but not including people on scholarships (and those that paid their own way) certainly has an effect.
Edit: skrayper beat me to it

Also funny how Alabama fans have never heard of colleges in their own state. I wonder who the sidewalk fans are?

Several items of note, that is multiple responses:
1. Auburn traditionally has a different mix of majors than Alabama. Communications and Education are much bigger majors at Bama, but they usually result in lower starting wages. Average starting salaries without considering this is disingenuous, and that's for any comparison between two schools, not just Auburn-Bama. UAH is probably high because of engineering, nursing, and engineers who return for MBAs.
2.These are reported for those earning financial aid as noted elsewhere. This skews results significantly. For example, over 70% of students at Harvard receive SOME financial aid, and 60% at Stanford.
3. Athens St. is ranked higher than some because they are very good about working with students to transfer credits, they have a very friendly administration. A significant number of engineer types in Huntsville go get their business background at Athens St. They are also unusual in that Athens St is a two year college (but two year UPPER division, one of only a handful in the country).
4. Amridge Univ is a recent name change from Regions Univ, which was a name change from one of the small religious schools in Alabama. They are accredited by SACS, so that's good enough for most employers even if not a well known name. Based out of Montgomery.
5. Spring Hill is one of the oldest Jesuit colleges in the nation. Very much under the radar, though. Quite expensive and very small number of students. Second or third oldest school in the state, I think.

It doesn't work like that because he has an Auburn logo next to his user name. Don't be silly man.

I would slit my wrists if $45k was my offer out of college

none of these numbers are something to take pride in.

I would like to see the breakdown of salaries based on the location of the jobs. Since the out of state jobs usually pay more, the gap in wages may say a lot more than what you see at face value.
