I just wondered, what is YCs success rate vs other business or career options?
I think universities should focus on academic studies, not as a pipeline to YC.

No, they should focus on providing investors the resources they want to get richer. Investors are the only people who matter in the world.
Academic studies and knowledge are literally a worthless waste of time, compared to the investments of investors.
Not everything is about money
How could it be satire? If you don't believe that investors' investments are the most important good-thing in the world, you must be an anti-capitalist in favor of Soviet-style central planning, and we all know how that turned out. There is no alternative.
I agree. If someone wishes to study business or even management, let them take a specialized degree or elective courses. There is no wisdom in removing focus from a specialized degree.
That's not applicable to teachers who may often times be doing what they need to do to matter to you (because that's what they genuinely want for themselves).
The top universities have been successfull for over 900 years in focusing on having the best teaching and research. Do we really think that will go away, rich people will stop wanting their kids to have the best education?
