> So I think the first site is just wrong in how they're estimating, at least for CMU.

Those numbers are FOR CMU, and they are the only numbers we have for CMU. So I'm not really sure how this gets resolved.

> They give more like $95k for a full professor

No, they don't. They say $111,262 (see CS, not overall). Average. (And that's just salary -- a CS professor at a top school has plenty of built-in options for making money on the side.) So you're are assuming that one of the top CS schools in the country pays 15k below national avage.
