Not sure if this is what you are thinking exactly but: Sam Walton - University of Missouri Mike Duke - Georgia Tech Rex Tillerson - UTx - Austin Alan Mulally - U Kansas Warren Buffet - UPenn, U Nebraska-Lincoln, Columbia James Sinegal - AA from San Diego City College Bernard Marcus - Rutgers Arthur Blank - Babson Ron Brill - Fairleigh Dickinson George Dayton - nothing after HS Charles Rudolph Walgreen - nothing after HS Michael Dell - U Tx Austin Marcus Goldman - Nothing after HS Richard M. Schulze - Nothing after HS I think I'll stop. I'm just going down the Fortune 500 list, and if the company has an identifiable founder that didn't go to an A-list school for their education I'm listing them (I tossed in a couple CEOs as well). Schulze (Best Buy) is at #45 so I think that paints the picture. Maybe a better question is, if the A-list schools are supposed to be so much better than other schools, why aren't the better represented in this list. Hell U Texas-Austin has about as many as Harvard and it's a state school.
