If anything it seems reasonable to assume that admittance to public colleges and universities would become *more* competitive once the financial barrier to entry is removed.
Fewer people atteniding 4-year institutions simply because their parents can afford it or because it's the "thing to do" after HS, and more people who have shown significant aptitude and have out performed their peers, regardless of their parent's income level.
If daddy still wants to buy Britney or Tucker college admittance they can pony up at a private institution.
Or they could take advantage of free education at a public 2-year or trade school where they meet admission criteria and that might be more suited to their abilities.
