On the other hand, perhaps the quality of code would go up?

I've been through an acquisition or two in my day (on the acquiring side). I'd echo knicholes' comment about that and go further: in my experience code quality and degree credential don't seem to have any relationship.

I've seen too many projects created by people with higher degrees to bet on that.

After personally seeing two large, recent acquisitions, I can attest that code quality != business value.
