This was no garage startup. They were using the resources of the university

Parent's 3 car garage? Wait, that was Bill Gates who was funded by wealthy family members yo get started.

Just like pointing out college dropouts who are successful, ignoring the fact that they dropped out because the business that they had started with funds from connections was doing so well and they didn't have enough time to finish college. Plus, they didn't need a college degree at that point...
