But can you imagine this world? Where you are sending your transcripts to the bank, proving to them that not only will you finish college, but be able to get a job afterwards.

And every month in college having to send your grades to them so they can be sure you're still a good investment.

It makes sense to me but... can you imagine the feelings that would be hurt by this?

Maybe feelings need to be hurt...A lot of people expect things to just be handed to them these days, especially with the "everybody is a winner" culture that is pushed in the elementary schools currently.

Wouldn't the simpler system be if you fail a unit twice You've got to find the money yourself to pay for that unit.

Just hook the college results system up to the load provider and let their system keep track of it that way.

This is more or less how the government funding works in Australia, but saying that the costs of higher education are a lot lower.
