"The best professors are sequestered in individual labs or in large research universities" I don't think this applies to most MBA subjects, as least as much as it does the others. It's a highly applied and contemporary discipline, perhaps one of the least theoretical. My best Finance prof, for example, who taught us Private Equity / VC, had personal relationships with so many of the best funds. He spends a lot of time in the field, staying in tune with trends in the industry. He was able to bring in really bright minds from the field, and it always made for the most engaging material. Even advanced corporate finance with all the cases like Volkswagen and their amazing currency trading activities ... it's all very much the real world material.
