<p>Actually, I have to agree with Payne and Alexandre on this one: those schools would indeed probably change their name for the right price. </p>
<p>Heck, HBS already has done so. The full and complete name of HBS is actually the “Harvard Graduate School of Business: George F. Baker Foundation”. Who the heck is George F. Baker? The guy who donated $5 million in 1924. The moniker “HBS” is really just a nickname. Note, Baker, unlike Joseph Wharton, did not actually found the school (which was founded in 1908). What Baker did was pay to build much of the Allston campus that still exists today. </p>
<p>The eighty-seven-year-old George F. Baker presented Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell with the keys to the School—officially named the “Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, George F. Baker Foundation”</p>
