You are right, that is one difference... but I'm not convinced that is the main reason, I think more important difference is that universities are more open minded to change and face less political opposition...
There is no reson why we couldn't get the ball rolling by for example starting to teach advanced college prep classes in high school using this "new" method... I would guess just about everone taking a calculus class in high school is there to learn, wants to succeed in life and actually wants to be there...
