Actually, some schools do have versions in place already (I believe Purdue's engineering is one example).
My opinion - not my area of research - is that the days of hiking tuition like they did year after year are over. Note that there's no reason this won't bring in money immediately. Students would essentially be doing an IPO and giving shares to the university. Those shares would have value to someone, and they could serve as collateral for a loan. And beyond that, there's no reason it has to be all or nothing. You could pay half tuition now and sign over a percentage of future earnings.
There's no way colleges want to do this. It's unclear to me how long they continue to operate under the current system. They're going to have to innovate.
