Seriously, his explanations on topics go well beyond the lectures some of my professors provide and could probably benefit a lot of students if given as a resource... If only academia wasn't so distrustful of those outside their circles...

But he's not even outside their circles right? Doesn't 3b1b have a PhD? I can tell you at least that we watched some 3b1b videos in my university undergrad math classes last year!
That's so encouraging to hear, I would've loved uni maths with some high quality videos like his to watch, even if just for after class to reinforce the topics.
Wikipedia thinks he has a Bachelors from Stanford[1]. That said, I love his videos too. I started with The Essence of Linear Algebra[2], which is just fantastic and really shaped my intuition for the topic.

Grant Sanderson does not have a PhD, he holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Stanford University.
