Average tuition for a year at a US private college is $35k. Nobody should pay that. Offering $140k for 1 year of regular time with any one of the best minds in your field of choice would be a strictly better use of your resources (and probably theirs, if they'd otherwise teach).

(1) I'm very worried about the number of toxic/predatory relationships this would create. "17 year old takes out $140k loan for a year of time with an industry veteran" has many devastating failure modes (2) The driven kids who'd benefit the most are already getting scholarships.
I’d argue that predatory relationships of all kinds are a greater risk any time you’re working within a multi-$B institution with a reputation to protect, and part of the reason this isn’t obvious is that they’re really fucking good at what they’re obviously incentivized to do

Agreed that this is a huge problem. But is it wiser to go into the institution with a reputation but theoretical protections plus the ability to swerve and take other options within the institution, or to invest hugely in a 1-to-1 with no safety net at all?

Ultimately I think this would work better in a Neal Stephenson novel than under our current legal system. You pay the expert $140k, you learn, but in the contract it says that if he hurts you, a drone comes and exacts a physical price
