For more than 15 years, a group of companies known as Online Program Management providers, or OPMs, have been helping colleges build online degree programs. And most of them have relied on an unusual arrangement — where the companies put up the financial backing to help colleges launch programs in exchange for a large portion of tuition revenue.

Perhaps the most basic explanation for this is the simple fact that most of their natural predators, such as hawks and falcons, migrate during the day.
