Real innovators can both secure more than $100k and have their way of waiting until after graduation.
If they have an idea and it's worth dropping out of college for, it's definitely worth a lot more than $100k. They'll probably be able to find VCs who will both give the money will allowing them to stay in college. Also, in reality, it's really about effectiveness in implementing the ideas rather than the ideas themselves.
At the same time, if it's really that good of an idea, it's not like people are going to snatch the opportunity during that extra year or two to finish college. If an idea is really that simple, chances are, it's not worth your time. If you are a real innovator, you'll have plenty of other opportunities afterwards anyways.
Only person who really gains from this is Peter Thiel, who gets to capitalize on a bunch of potentials, relatively cheaply, while screwing most of them for life.
