Michael Arinze
Summary
Michael obviously has great timing as he joined The Action Network right at the start of the pandemic during the NCAA Tournament when one by one games were taken off the betting board. He later made his debut in July when Major League Baseball was the first American sport to return to the playing field. Michael closely follows all major sports (with the exception of the NHL) and specializes in women's college basketball.
Experience
Michael's always been involved in sports and earlier in his career, he worked for College Sports Television (CSTV) which later became CBS College Sports. He grew up as a big Mike and the Mad Dog fan and often called into the show. When Mike Francesca was looking for a new partner, Michael sat across from the radio icon at Bar A as the host peppered him with questions about his Mets fandom. Ever since that day, Michael knew that at some point he'd end up back in sports media. He occasionally spends some time each month scouring the internet with the hope of finding the footage of his debut on the Yes Network.
Education
Michael attended the University of Richmond as a student athlete and goalkeeper for the soccer team. In his senior year, he helped lead his team to an NCAA Tournament at-large berth. At Richmond, he studied Economics before earning his MBA at Rutgers University. He's always been comfortable working with numbers and enjoys spending time building and tinkering with his betting models.
