[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy that a [b]b-level[/b] rag, and that would be generous to US News & World Report, has become what it has as a major influence on college decisions, school district decisions, and hospital decisions.
Their staff isn't exactly a who's who either, and most of what their newer rankings use input wise for methodology is public info. 
Complaining about writers and coaches ranking football teams poorly is funny because the older US News rankings were similar and heavily waited "expert" peer assessments based on a survey they'd send out to other schools.[/quote]

By "b-level", I assume that you mean billionaire level ?[/quote]

Was USNWR ever a well-regarded publication?
The pivot to rankings was genius. At this point, they send a survey and repackage a lot of public info and rake in ad and subscription revenue! Their small and somewhat inept staff was on full display when they had to pause and rerelease their law school rankings earlier this year.[/quote]
