What about current college students?

If it were possible for a good student at _any_ school to take online courses _for credit_ at an Ivy, and perhaps to even work toward a new "dual" degree that joins both institutions, I suspect the demand would be there. They're already using borrowed money.

I agree, but I feel extremely pessimistic that typical universities will willingly accept such credits (my simple assumption being thay most universities are aimed for profit). In fact, i think most universities are focused on creating their own MOOCs to replace their own 700+ student 100-level courses instead of working towards a common MOOC offerings.
