"I guess eventually a lot of professors would be too if they were to release texts or videos and compete with one another."
I believe that this is why the top universities are betting on this. My expectation is that the top universities will provide cheap education for the masses in the future. In other words: The MOOC revolution will be similar to how TV took over from movie theatres.
Second tier universities will simply disappear or the professors will be relegated to teaching assistants for the top professors. Or more likely: Second tier universities will play another role as meeting places for students taking courses from the best universities - and possibly with the professors as TAs. Or they will have to concentrate on areas where they can compete with top universities. I am happily looking forward to this development.
