If you can get the course work from MIT/Cambridge etc for free why bother going to BLAH-state to learn the stuff?
If you are going to school for the shiny bit of paper then the only bit of paper that is worthwhile will be the one from MIT/Cambridge etc, if nobody goes to BLAH state to learn stuff why would you employ someone who went to BSU for the certificate.
The same thing happened in the UK, the sector was opened up to allow pretty much anyone with a classroom to call themselves a university. This was heartily endorsed by the elite universities in the name of fairness and wider access. The result is that where there used to be good, medium and OK colleges there are now elite and 'the rest'.
So guess what employers look for on a certificate?
