3)  A factor I don't think has been mentioned in this thread yet (?):  Birth rates declined sharply during the Great Recession and kids born during those years will be applying to college starting around 2026.  Colleges know this and are planning for the number of applicants to decline significantly.  Many schools outside the top tier will have to market themselves to survive.  And with costs rising at 2X or more the rate of inflation for many years, more and more kids will decide to attend community college or take some other path, which will further shrink the applicant pool.  Google "college enrollment crash."

Bingo.   Give that man a cigar.   Not just during the recent recession but also in general.
