He should have done what Zuckerberg did even without the threat. Drop out and work on it full-time. At least, transfer to a friendlier university and take a leave of absence for as long as needed (like the Google guys). Opportunities like this are far rarer than plentiful bachelor's (or even PhD) degrees . As an employer, I'd take him as a dropout with an impressive track record instead of any bachelor's graduate any day. In the eyes of an investor looking for great entrepreneurs, it is even clearly better to drop out in this case.
