They already compete against public universities, why would this be any different? They just don't want to compete at all, because that means the obscenely bloated admin paychecks may have to decrease
There are only three public universities that offer bachelor's degrees in Iowa. Community colleges would absolutely increase the competition as community colleges could offer degrees closer to where people live.
