Also, from the article:

  As long as students who take edX are blocked from the branding and professional networks 
  that their parents pay so dearly to obtain, such top schools have nothing to fear from giving 
  away what the teachers are getting paid modestly to deliver.

University teaches a lot more than the course material.
