Reporter Tom Rinaldi has spent nearly two decades at ESPN, winning awards and covering all kinds of events and sports, from golf to baseball to college basketball to horse racing to college football and more.
We found out last month that Rinaldi is leaving the Worldwide Leader for FOX Sports, and so New Year’s Day marked his final appearance on College GameDay, where he was a frequent contributor.
Here’s his final message to ESPN viewers, a thank-you note and reminder of some of the incredible stories he told on the air.
“So, I thank you,” he says in the video below, “for sharing the stories and the moments, and all the Saturday mornings.”
