If they dont get paid, where does our fourth year tuition money go to?

They do not get paid. It's a gentleman's agreement that taking you ensures your institution will take their students.

That's why it's wise not piss off the programs you visit by being rude, being a douche, or cancelling last minute. It will reflect badly on your school and mess up opportunities for future students.

Of course not. Your tuition goes to your university to grant you credit.
