"Caper Chase" is the nineteenth episode of the twenty-eighth season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 615th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on April 2, 2017.

A softball match is being played to little athletic achievement between teams from the Indian Point and Springfield Nuclear Plants. After Homer Simpson collapses on the field, Mr. Burns and the other coach talk about how the market for nuclear energy will be lucrative forever and ever.

Mr. Burns heads right away to Yale University to endow a chair in nuclear plant management, only to learn that the entire student body is now made of "highly entitled wusses" from the Whiffenpoofs on down, and who believe extreme left-wing views that appall Mr. Burns. He then finds out that running a university can earn him a lot of money from a member of the Skull and Bones society named Bourbon Verlander. Mr. Burns then cuts a deal with Bourbon and withdraws all of his financial support to Yale in order to set up his own branch of the for-profit university system.

Back at the Power Plant, Mr. Burns burns all of Yale University stuff and tells Homer and Lenny and Carl about his new university. The teachers he chooses to run the university are the Power Plant workers.

Homer and the others start working as teachers, but Homer is not doing so well with his students and Lisa Simpson (who was horrified that Homer became a professor mainly because he didn't take the responsibility of educating people seriously) offers him a DVD box set of inspirational teachers DVDs. After watching them, he gets better at teaching and Mr. Burns sells Homer to Bourbon.
