I think it's more than that. A college is worth $X because its graduates go on to Do Great Things. Now suppose there's only 10 colleges in the world. 9 inflate grades to a 3.8 average and 1 keeps it at 3.0. Who is going to get hired easier?
I think grade inflation is two fold. 1) students gaming the system and chasing grades rather than education, and 2) the system gaming against other participants.
