That's a terrible solution that doesn't fix any of the real problems. It just shifts around the financial burden of an increasingly eroded and expensive education system.
Here's a solution: Make sure that everyone who cannot cut it in college does not go in the first place. Start by not letting people who cannot complete basic requirements graduate from high school.
This starts to turn off the money tap, instead of turning it on full blast by hooking it up to even more public funds, so it will never happen. It also prevents lots of people who can barely read from taking on debt only to drop out 2 years later after doing a few "remedial" years.

Then, make college more difficult until the credentialism becomes less pointless. It is insane that we have baristas 100k in debt after being in school from age 5 to 22. There are more ways to solve that than just redirecting the debt.
