Like I said in my initial comment, I don't agree that would be the outcome.

I think a lot of smaller college would fail, and the big colleges would keep their high prices, and only cater to the wealthy.

You only need to look at historical examples to know that cannot be the case.

Take for example, cars. That's how cars started. Look where we are today.

If tuition stays sky high, it will be because of regulatory requirements (and enabling subsidies) to stay sky high, not because theres no market for education for working class folk
