Don,
Unfortunately money does drive much of education for better or worse. There have been great strides in education because of money, but others have taken it to the point of diploma mills and lowered standards to the point that some individuals believe all online education is substandard. Online will continue to grow and traditional instruction will continue to be transformed with the new online tools to develop more hybrid models of instruction. The next 5-10 years will be an interesting time in education.
