I'm surprised that nobody has yet pointed out that an emphasis on what college a job candidate attended only makes sense when you're hiring kids fresh out of school who have no real accomplishments they can be judged by. Even if you're hiring someone with just five years of work experience, what they've accomplished during their years of employment is much more relevant to their success at your company than where they went to school and what grades they got. Is Yahoo hiring anyone over the age of 25?
