If you were designing business school from the ground up, you probably wouldn't attach it to a university, because then you wouldn't need academic requirements, or archaic concepts like tenure.
Instead you'd probably build something that can iterate quickly according to the demands of students. Something online-first, that doesn't have massive fixed costs to cover right away.
In other words, something like @beondeck.
