>not free, universal college degrees for all - access is restricted behind rigorous entrance exams.

As another user pointed out, US universities are also restricted in the same manner. Perhaps you're attempting to describe a difference in how they would be perceived and thus perhaps politically digestable, but college admissions is extremely competitive in the United States as well.

The bar for entry has certainly lowered/widened, likely related to financial incentives being discussed in this post.

Not for community colleges and regular universities. If you want to go to a top-tier university, sure, but there is tons of room for everyone.
