No, it's no secret.  That's close to the educational quantity discount.   
The standard <10 pcs upgrade discount is your regular 30% or whatever your  
campus gets off.
If you buy between 10 and 49 copies, you get a higher discount, and above  
50 is even more.  Some campuses' computer stores are putting together big  
orders for people who don't want to keep a CD-ROM (you only get 10 discs  
with the 50+ special, no matter how many licenses you buy).  Contact your  
campus computer reseller for more info on any sort of group deal they  
might be doing.  The purchases have to be all together on one purchase  
order to get the discount.  Many campuses may have already made their  
purchases, this was announced several months ago.
Most campuses don't want to bother with such a big production, and feel  
that most people are going to want to keep a CD-ROM for backups.

No printed docs come with this upgrade, so there is no issue about that  
(that was the first thing I called about back when this was announced).
