Ah you see, your premise is wrong. To go looking for someone is the polar opposite of how to find capable founders, very simply because it implies they need to be found. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think your ideas are too academic. You don't just "go to a college and find entrepreneurs".
There certainly is value in the effort one engages in when self-developing, self-formulating, self-revising, self-actualizing, self-motivating, self-preserving and finally self-sticking-your-neck-out, which is what the YC process is sort of about.

In short: Interesting things happen when you put smart people in a room without any constraint and a little bit of funding. Although I freely admit the IAS is fairly controversial and some people hate the model.
