There's always going to be a place for University's to exist, there's certain amounts of skills that require a practical experience that they can provide, but for most courses shifting it online makes more sense. The costs are lower, it's easier to manage, it encourages more people to gain a formal education and hopefully strengthen their careers.

It's going to be interesting seeing which ones will offer an actual bit of paper at the end that says 'I'm educated in X by Y' and how much it's going to cost. $7k for a degree from a prestigious school is going to be a popular option, so whilst they lose the high amount per student, they gain it back in larger student numbers.
