Wow, there is a potentially a lot of money at stake here. It looks like I could be eligible to join this lawsuit if it goes forward.

This has happened before, with the Ivy League plus MIT university cartel being in real danger of complete destruction due to law suits. In those days the all the leaders in Congress and the US legal field got together to protect their elite alma maters. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/03/us/mit-ruled-guilty-in-an...

Today US universities can also count on assistance from the big banks for whom they generate tens of billions of dollars of government-backed loans on an annual basis. This antitrust scenario will continue to repeat itself, and I'm sure that former students of these universities will not be allowed into a legal position to get some of their money back or to harm them in any way.
