I'm not sure it's necessarily the students, although it could be part of it. To me the question has always been "Why do we assume MBA is a degree in entrepreneurship". MBA's have a lot of different coursework, from strategy to finance, from accounting to human resources. I would gather than some schools have a few courses in entrepreneurship, but it is not a 2 year degree of back to back courses in entrepreneurship. There are some courses that are general, take Strategy for example. And the strategies for optimizing and tuning a fortune 500 company are different then how startups attempt to prove a new business model. Don't get me wrong, in many cases the basic fundamentals are the same, but the overall goal is different. Summary: MBA schools may be failing to teach entrepreneurship, but I don't think their #1 intent is to teach entrepreneurship anyway. Note: I do have a certificate in general management from Kellogg. And while I enjoyed my time there, I can unequivocally say, the courses were not intended to teach entrepreneurship.
