Paul M. Banks founded a Chicago-based and Midwestern themed webzine The Sports Bank.net in '07. He currently oversees a staff of 12 for a website which has been featured in USA Today, ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, sports talk radio in multiple markets and many more media outlets. Banks was also one of just 20 young American journalists selected to participate in a Fulbright journalism fellowship in Berlin in 2006.
He started out as a football beat writer for the student daily at the University of Illinois, and in '09 he became a member of the Football Writers Association of America. Banks currently free-lances Walter Football.com. In addition to football, he especially loves college basketball; as he attended two prestigious universities that have a rich history of qualifying for Final Fours (Illinois undergrad, began his MBA at Michigan State in 2000, when they won the national title). He completed his MBA at Loyola University Chicago, another school that owns a basketball national title.
While with NBC Chicago.com for a couple of years, he covered all major professional and college sports. Paul Banks also covered the New England Patriots dynasty for a NFL Draft publication, and did guest commentating in his "polarizing" Bill Belichick Halloween costume for a Chicago Tribune Super Bowl publication. Banks also possesses an ARA sportsmanship trophy from reporting on Northwestern football, and was picked the city's official sports blogger for the Chicago 2016 Channel.
