Publisher of CollegeFootballNews.com starting in 1998, Pete Fiutak was a college football part of the very start of Rivals, Scout, the FOXSports.com relaunch, Stadium/Campus Insiders, and the USA TODAY College Wire sites. 

He was the first ever on-air guest on CBS Sports Network, was a talking head for five years at Stadium, and did in-stadium TV work at the first five College Football Playoff National Championships. But all anyone really seems to care about is that he did all the player ratings for various college football and basketball video games for four years in the 2000s.
