Make the college take a 10% stake in any loan taken out to attend that school. The colleges would be a lot more selective about who they let in (hint: not everyone) and what their students' majors were.

I like this idea; make it: "take last 10% stake in any loan", so they get their money back only after everything else is paid off.

Maybe that would work if colleges were publicly traded or something, but otherwise I think internal politics and ideological motivations are probably too strong for this to actually work.

It won't work regardless. They'll just raise tuition by the amount they expect to lose.
