How to address dominant personalities in study groups

My MBA study group has one person who dominates every conversation and nobody calls it out because they're really smart and well-connected and we all want them to like us. We've created this weird dynamic where we're all performing engagement while secretly hoping someone else will say something about the imbalance.
