On-line classes are the game changer. As soon as we start hearing about students getting good jobs with an online degree at a fraction of price, liberal arts colleges and others will close fast. Of course you miss the full live aboard college experience but we will probably see some kind of blend of online with classroom course work.
The biggest obstacle is the education system itself. They will resist to the bitter end. It will be interesting to watch the flow/trend of future grant money.
There will be big political pushback from the indoctrination factor. just sayin’
