Duke versus Cornell in the NCAA men's basketball final?
Don't look for the University of Washington or Gonzaga to make it to the Final Four in the NCAA basketball tourney this year. Instead, underdogs such as Michigan, USC and Cornell may be playing for the title -- that is if you're to believe an analysis from PayScale.
For the second year in a row, the Seattle online salary tabulator has offered its picks based on the median salaries of graduates of each of the 65 schools in contention. And who will take the title? Of course, that would be Duke whose grads pulled in an annual salary of $102,000.
Based on PayScale's analysis, the UW (median salary of $74,900) will get knocked out in the third round by Texas A&M (salary of $78,700.)
Gonzaga has an easy first round game against Akron, whose grads have a median salary of $54,700. But the Zags -- median salary of $73,600 -- will fall to Illinois ($80,800) in the second round.
Last year, PayScale predicted a final four of Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Stanford, with Stanford predicted to take the top prize with a median salary of $113,000.
But none of those teams actually made it to the final four. I guess future salaries don't translate into hoop skills.
