The biggest problem is the fundamental inability of two higher education camps: "education should be free" and "education should be market priced" to agree on anything.
It would be better to have a mix: free education slots for students who pass (tough-ish) entrance exams and slots that university can add at market price for students who do not meet the bar. If there are more market price applications than slots schools can select any way they want except on price (i.e., all market rate slots should be priced the same). My 2c.
