What is that based on? Looking at the first destination report for Alabama compared to Auburn, Bama starting salaries are $10K more than AU

University of Alabama: LINK $68K
Auburn University: LINK $58K

I have engineers reporting to me from a large swath of that list (multiple Aggies and horns); I make considerably more than they do….

I graduated from LSU….deal with it

Honestly, depending on weighting, that probably tracks.

I think Auburn is better than Oklahoma and Tennessee and Alabama in a lot of meaningful ways. But all are bigger brands and have more historic athletic success to set off academic success, incomes, so forth.

Those middle 4 or so and the bottom are probably the categories where there are reasonable arguments. Everything else looks...fine.

Deflecting from what? Academic reputation has very little to do with what we talk about here. I think it's great criteria and a good offseason thread. Just don't agree with that aspect of it.


I agree. Who gives a shite? Take it to the academic board. This is about sports.

If I were going to come on a message board and lie about my profession and commensurate salary, I would pick something much more exciting than an Engineering Manager…sorry that hurts your feelings.

We don’t recruit from Georgia though…terrible engineering school

If the UGA engineering students got into UGA, they are smarter than every LSU student.

Ex. Vanderbilt has a great academic reputation but I’m not sure their alumni network and are on par or above some of the others.

alumni network


one of the best in the league, may be the best in the league (toss up between them and Texas)

athletic brand


mid tier in the league; football is close to the bottom; but baseball is close to the top (behind LSU & Texas; on par with South Carolina & the MS schools)

One of your metrics should've been "the prestige that comes along with being an Auburn man." Auburn too low!
