By far the most remarkable thing about Rice is his supreme confidence (putting it nicely, more like arrogance) even in the face of an entire lifetime of evidence to suggest that he should be anything but. Were it not for that, there wouldn't be 1/10th the amount of discussion/interest surrounding him in this thread and most of us probably wouldn't even watch his videos.

If Rice approached anything resembling 'normal', almost none of us would know who he is.

Law Skool is a funny/crazy thing. As time has passed, it has only gotten progressively more so.

A good rule of thumb is that if a skool is not in the top 20 or so (out of 200), it ain't nothing.

Why is that? The vast majority of firms that hire AND PAY good wages get the vast bulk of their associates from the top 20 skools.

Can you do OK at the 24th best ranked skool? Sure, maybe with a lot of hard work and luck.

Can you do OK at the 80th best ranked skool? Hahaha. You better be in the top 10% of the class AND have something else going on.

A number of years ago, law school was difficult to get into and quite an accomplishment to graduate from.

Fast forward to today, a number of skools are almost open admission! A number of skools have had problems with their ABA accreditation. That is, they are borderline open admission and a shocking percentage of their graduates can't pass a bar exam. This reflects very poorly on the whole system. Why let people in who have no realistic chance to practice law? To help client? To make a decent living?

In the end, it is all about getting students to SIGN ON THE LINE WHICH IS DOTTED. It is important that the money continue to flow in no matter what. Administrators and professors salaries aren't going to pay themselves.

I suspect that it is a similar thing with undergraduate skools. The value of degrees all across the board has plummeted.

Why is Diesel and his pocket bread flying in the first place? Shouldn't he be riding the Greyhound bus like all the other Nomads? He would get a nice comfortable bus seat for 16 hours to San Francisco and 16 hours back to Las Vegas. Only miserable people throw their money away on hotel rooms when you can sit on a bus.
