Having worked for UCLA, Sylvan Learning Centers, Kaplan Test Prep, The College Network, Grockit, and Veritas Prep has taught me that there is a lot you can teach someone in a classroom, but there is so much more you can't. Some of the best musicians in the world are self-taught, because you can learn as much or more about jazz in a smoky nightclub as you can in the halls of Julliard. That said, there are thousands of classically-trained musicians in symphony orchestras around for every Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix. It could be that we only notice the hackers turned entrepreneur superstars because they get so much exposure in the tech world. I bet there are a lot of businesses started by MBA's that aren't as glamorous as Google or Facebook.
