Albert Einstein did much of his work on relativity, not while he was at the university, but while he was working in the patent office. His peers rejected his theories and advised him to give it up.
When education becomes a business, the joy, or spark if you will, is lost. Successful inventors, it seems to me, are those who have had an idea come to them and have a passion for the child of their mind. I fear academia does not foster many such children.
