Of course this is a brilliant idea.

Anyone who has worked for longer than six months can tell you how important the undergraduate brand name really is. Prestige is greatly overrated and faculty prestige as measured by PA is a multiple of this.

As for the relevance of business to graduating college students, I would guess that something like 90%+ of the students go on to the real world. You can argue whether the Fortune 500 is the right group to make this judgment, but businesses definitely have more than a clue of the quality of the product coming out of various colleges. And for graduating students, knowing what their prospective employers think of their college is extremely relevant.
