Nice. Providing a discount to university and students as long as they place a link on their .edu domain? That's genius... Or I should say, was genius.

First, JC Penney's and now Overstock. I sense another SEO company getting fired.

Lesson to be learned?

.edu backlinks work

But apparently they won't work in the long run.

They work in the long run, as long as you get them legitimately.

They probably did it internally. Someone will be getting fired anyway.
