It's not so much that the students get the connections. It's because of the way the universities have their network routing set up. If they have an I2 connection to a university and a student wants to connect to someone at that university, then the TCP/IP connection will be sent over I2 because it's basically free. No upstream cost associated with the transfer between universities like you would get by going over the regular internet.
