That's the signalling issue

Why do you call that "signaling"? A top-tier school has a real, actual, territory-level advantage over a backwater college. The undergrads there are different.

If you only have a few experts in a prediction market, you don't have enough liquidity to update your predictions. With prediction polls, that isn't a problem.

I don't know about that not being a problem. Lack of information is lack of information. Pooling forecasts is not magical.
