That doesn't explain how the cost of tuition has risen a lot faster than the cost of most other goods and services that people also pay for and demand (and receive) good quality of. Also, it assumes a previous state of not paying for the services which did not exist in the US in the same way it did in the UK.

In the US most students at public universities have never paid for most of the services they receive, the state has paid for the bulk of their university education. For the past decade or two the states have been slashing university funding left and right. This is why tuition costs have been rising.
