Pete Ruden

Pete helps manage Action Network's college football, college basketball and college baseball content. Before starting as an editor, he worked as a contributor at Action, covering college football and sports betting legalization news. Pete will always believe Iowa is criminally underrated in the market and will probably always bet the Hawkeyes to win the Big Ten.

Pete is a Senior Editor at Action Network, helping manage the college football, college basketball and college baseball verticals. Before joining Action, he served as a freelance sports reporter for Sports Illustrated's HawkeyeMaven, Rivals' HawkeyeReport, and the Cedar Rapids Gazette. 

Pete graduated from the University of Iowa in 2020 with majors in journalism and sports studies. While in college, he worked as a sports editor, football editor and sports reporter for The Daily Iowan, the independent student newspaper at Iowa.
