SOME OF THEM.. definitely not all, because plenty of PAC10 umps have taught me invaluable stuff.

I think umpires in my area may be lucky in this regard. I work HS games with partners I know have been everywhere and worked everything, but you would never know it unless you asked them. They just go out and work their game and show how good they are.
This is why I don't go talking about how I've done this game, I've been to that tournament: Eventually you'll run into an umpire whose resume puts yours to shame.
I just go out and do the best I can.

I love that story.
That is why we umpire....
