On average, skipping college and investing tuition costs nets a higher return

And then there is the bit where rich foreigners want to send their children to top schools, which usually translates into sending them to the United States as well as the general population increase. With more people competing for the same (or in some cases even fewer) spots the prices could only go up.

So now we get to see other effects at work and some of those effects expose this rise in price as unrealistic.

Not a fair statement, as highly esteemed foreign teachers and professors also get bought by US colleges and universities. These top school would not be top without the capital they have.

Although I do want to mention that in my eyes these so-called top schools are overvalued. With both their professors and students gaming the system in order to 'stay the best'.
