They're doing it all day long though. Maybe not for flight training, but the college bubble is spewing out millions of worthless degrees in nothing with price tage every bit as expensive as learning to fly.

There's nothing about access to that list of free material in the age of instant hyper accessable information that warrants such high costs though. Likewise it doesn't cost 150K to get your ratings, and the time will take care of itself because the system is going to need instructors. Lower cost, higher value programs will emerge (no thanks to these "summits" of course) and getting slightly more than "12 and 2" won't be any bigger deal now than it was not that long ago.
