Well, since the federal government appears to be making a sizable profit off of their student loan business, I'd say that this $7.7B will just come off their "balance sheet".
A federal law was passed in 2010 that required all student to originate from the DoE, giving them a monopoly on the juicy, high interest, high balance, zero risk loans given out to millions of Americans each year. Because of this, the DoE rakes in billions a year in profits from student loan interest.
It's possible that this was the first step in a plan to gradually unwind the student loan crisis. I'm sure that changing the repayment rules while commercial lenders owned most of the student loan debt would cause a massive backlash.

AliExpress seems to have many sellers selling fake (copy) products.
How else a Samsung Galaxy S5 would sell for < $200 whereas the market price is between $500 and $600.?
