What are the key benefits for going to a top ten or twenty ranked business school?

Hi WSO Community, my name name is Renzy and currently reside in San Francisco attending SFSU for Business Finance and was wondering what the key benefits are to attend a top tier mba program besides the immediate access to certain networking. Is there any data on the ROI for the top ten business schools versus lower tiers?
