Precisely.

The entire reason we have to crush this practice is because it puts philanthropy at risk.

>If colleges really want to, they can set tuition at three million a semester and offer price cuts to students that "get in."...

The politicians won't let them. Especially not at the state schools.

As AdverseAffect pointed out, this is already happening to some extent with the scholarship plus extreme tuition system. If it went a little further in that direction, getting a scholarship would be the new "getting in."
