if (2) is possible, what's the difference if (1) happens? Someone will have to pay that debt eventually (the taxpayer).

Scenario (2) more likely indicates that before (1) happens, a number of colleges would have to go bust in rapid succession.

TBF my biggest problem with scenario 1 happening would be if scenario 2 DIDN'T happen first. Colleges have too long been promoting degrees that they knew students would never be able to pay off reasonably.
