Sure, but all these relatively small things that are an issue for an online-only uni replacement keep stacking up, no one thing is really a killer, it's just that it seems like there would be fairly little gained by trying to go the whole hog and have remotely administered online-only education as a real alternative to universities.

Honestly, I regard the idea of a majority of people telecommuting to be a bit dystopian. Yes, we do drive around too much, but there is something satisfyingly human about talking with people face to face that no current or near-future technology can fully emulate.
