How great a job does Joe Lunardi have?
The guy was working at St. Joseph’s and doing a great job of picking the teams that actually made the NCAA Tournament every year. ESPN somehow notices, one thing leads to another, and now he’s a celebrity.
That’s not to say that he doesn’t deserve it. His columns generate millions of hits for ESPN, which translates into a good amount of advertising revenue. He obviously has a passion for college basketball. He’s great at his job and he’s personable – unlike a lot of geeks that are locked in an office trying to figure this stuff out.
Lunardi, by the way, still works at St. Joseph’s, doing media relations for the university and working the radio broadcasts of the Hawks basketball games.
I guess there’s hope for all of us college basketball nuts yet.
