Mr. Burns goes to Yale University to collect new generation of workers for the Nuclear Plant, however they refuse because they say their students are highly entitled wusses. Burns finds out that running a university can make a lot of money and refuses to fund it. From a member of the Skull and Bones society, Bourbon Verlander, he discovers how much a university can make, and makes a deal with him.
