Joe Lunardi Booking Agency Profile
ESPN's in-house bracketologist is Joe Lunardi. He created Bracketology and since its debut, he has projected the NCAA Tournament field for ESPN.com. Each year, Lunardi analyzes the possible Tournament entrants, conducts year-round team analysis and provides real-time, in-season updates to the bracket about probable seedings and pairings. His regular contributions from the "Bracket Bunker" have established themselves as a mainstay of college basketball broadcasts on all ESPN networks.
The Bracketology Show, which Lunardi debuted on ESPN+ during the season and presented a weekly in-depth look at the predicted NCAA bracket as well as giving fans immediate access to players, coaches and administrators while they awaited their playoff fate, was hosted by Lunardi. The "how" and "why" of team movement into and out of the most likely NCAA field was intriguing to see.
Lunardi worked for his alma institution, Saint Joseph's University, as head of communications and marketing for more than 30 years before to joining ESPN full-time.
Before working as a long-time editor for the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, Lunardi wrote for the Philadelphia Bulletin and Delaware County Daily Times. He was reared on Saint Joseph's and Philadelphia Big 5 basketball. The 1995 inclusion of a post-season NCAA Tournament Guide by Blue Ribbon directly contributed to the development of Bracketology and a digital edition of the Guide is currently posted on ESPN.com every Selection Sunday..

An example fee to book Joe Lunardi is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
