Perhaps they will down the road. Perhaps they'll come up with a somewhat different mechanism. Perhaps they'll get nothing at all.
It has everything to do with it. It's not a single item that gets students in debt, it's dozens, hundreds of them.

I'm a pretty frugal dude. $100 for frivolity I can't see.
