I'm partial to the concept of ISAs for many reaons, but fatal flaw is rates will be set by community rating, in which case adverse selection will doom program, or by individual underwriting, whereby wealthy white males get better terms than everyone else.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/income-share-agreements-are-a-powerful-alternative-to-student-loans/2019/11/27/5290d0ee-0be3-11ea-97ac-a7ccc8dd1ebc_story.html …

perhaps strongest theoretical case for ISAs is like VC, where a few outlier winners offset many ho-hum results – but ISAs in practice, like Lambda, find lower caps engender more trust/alignment
-
low-cap ISAs (like Lambda, where $30k cap just ~1.5x up-front $20k cost) still likely to get large noncash reputational/affiliational/network benefits from their capped-out earners, if (as with Lambda) they're working those missionary/community angles

It's like politicians crying about the fact that in health insurance(!) currently healthy people pay for the others.

A portfolio approach to ISAs won't work, since the returns don't share VC's asymmetric profile (e.g no one earns $1B/y). The elegance of capped ISAs is that schools optimize for treatment effect, rather than selecting student to return 100x (as Ivy League might w. endowments)
