If you are not accepted and/or are unable to relocate to SV, then a MOOC version of YC makes sense for the reasons that MOOCs make sense in higher ed: location & time independent, high quality learning, structured peer review, clear milestones and deadlines, tuition free, and most importantly ... it is far superior to the alternative, which is often doing nothing.
I tend to agree, but would love to hear any first-hand experiences from anyone who has participated. I'm sure there are a few, maybe I'll throw up a "Ask HN" sometime and solicit some input from some of them.
