ESPN Hires Michelle Obama's Brother 5 Months After Firing from Coaching Job

ESPN confirms that they have hired Michelle Obama’s brother Craig Robinson as a men’s college basketball analyst for the cable network.

Robinson was fired from his head basketball coaching job in Oregon State in May with three more years remaining on his contract.

ESPN coordinating producer Chris Farrow praised Robinson as a “credible” voice to the cable giant’s college basketball coverage, citing his “experience at the Division I coaching level,” as well as his “insight and understanding of the game.”
