As entrepreneurs our focus is different anyway. Some people will attend b-school to get a better job. We'll attend to learn skills, which is part of what the article says:
"In future, those who stump up will do so because they want to learn the skills, not because they think they are buying entry into a cool and exclusive club"
B-school is what you make of it. You get a couple years to soak up a ton of knowledge. Sure there's always BS but there are some incredibly powerful models that you just won't learn outside of it unless you're very dedicated. HR? As primarily a developer, I'm not going to read an HR textbook unless someone tests me on it. Turns out it's a very interesting subject and links strongly to your strategy. Same with marketing, finance, etc etc.
You can also attend, get through the exams and have the primary output being a piece of paper - same as any other degree.
