Michael Arnold was a player at the University of Chicago and Columbia University. He frequently goes by "marnold" or variants thereof like "marhola" (originated by Kevin Olmstead and his illegible handwriting). He was on championship winning teams at ACF Nationals 2009, ICT 2010, and CULT.

Academic

In 2007-2008, he was on the team that won ACF Fall in 2007. He won the award for top Div II scorer at 2008 ACF Nationals.
