Nah, that's not accurate. I worked at a hedge fund and about 25% of the employees were hired simply due to having an Ivy liberal arts degree. Had taken maybe one finance/accounting class but had the Ivy degree.
All about opening/closing doors... getting an Ivy degree closes zero doors.
Building off this, yes a degree is just proof to a potential employer that you can jump through hoops, but the intangible value of a university particularly for business students is the Alumni network.
A business degree from TCU opens doors all over the United States and the World via the Alumni network alone and can be tapped into throughout ones career.
Certainly something to weigh when selecting a school.
