SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Jack Swarbrick, a lawyer who helped draw numerous sporting events to Indianapolis, including the 2012 Super Bowl, is the new athletic director at Notre Dame.

Swarbrick was selected by school officials as the new athletic director on Wednesday. He succeeds Kevin White, who left the school May 31 to become the athletic director at Duke.

Although Swarbrick has no experience as an athletic director, he is known to leaders in college athletics.

He was a finalist in 2002 for the NCAA president's position that went to Myles Brand, he was a finalist for the athletic director's position at Arizona State in 2005 and a finalist last year for commissioner of the Big 12. He also was instrumental in getting the NCAA to move its headquarters to Indianapolis in 2000.

Swarbrick is a 1976 graduate of Notre Dame.

Not unheard of at all. SMU was very close to hiring a business type before Orsini.

I wonder how good Swarbrick's cover letter was?

Ok Jon Daniels.

I hate to be the 'what does this have to do with UNT football guy' but I think I have to. As little as I care what SMU does, I REALLY couldn't give a rat's ass about Notre Dame.

We could all use a lesson or two on writing good cover letters.

Simple rule. Most lawyers hate lawyering

Many of them devote every free minute to something not lawyering and develop expertise in something else.

A lucky few get to change careers.

If I'd been paying attention and seen that the Notre Dame job was open I might have applied. :lol:

Wasn't there a rumor on this board, laughable as it is, that RV was being considered?

Only if sarcasm escapes you.

Don't hate on the Irish just because they have more national titles than any other school. (Yes I'm a Notre Dame fan and would have gone their if I a: had a 4.0 in high school or b: was filthy rich haha)

Hey. I've got a law degree. When can I take the UNT AD job? I promise to eliminate the track around the field, kill the crickets (but preserves the albino squirrel), and get more regional games our fans can travel to. I also promise not to wear coaching shorts...EVAR!

I'll also try to get the place renamed Fouts Field at Flying Tomato Stadium. Tortillas will be welcomed, maybe even provided at the gate (after checking in with the event insurers...and, then, ignoring them when told we can't throw flour-goods from the stands).

There would be some logo with a star and interlocking NT. We'd go back to a deeper green for jerseys. Reebok would be the supplier of choice for unis.

Also, there would be billboards, schmoozing with talk radio people, phone conversations with money-making people with UNT degree...and without UNT degrees.

We would start the lottery idea (probably in secret, due to crappy NCAA regulations) for a weekly pool to try to win the lottery and give the proceeds to the athletic department for a football stadium.

I would allow the guy who always yangs on and on about baseball to throw out the first pitch at our new baseball stadium. Nolan Ryan did fund-raisers for Abilene Christian when they resurrected their baseball program. I will try to get legendary local players to help us get our back up.

And, I'll do it all for $78,346 per year plus complimentary use of a Kia Rio (gas included), an unlimited supply of Pepsi-Cola, and one piece of pecan pie everyday delivered fresh to my desk by 11 a.m.

I'd vote for you, but since you graduated from this school, your chances are pretty slim.

      I wish there was a way to give ADLER a giant up arrow. Regrettably, I could only give him a standard any old day of the week up arrow. Boy, I wish there was a way…

      What is this program missing?

      This part of your argument is just not true. North Texas has claimed 25 conference championships in football all time, tied for 13th most in the FBS. I would say a “signature win” would be the win over undefeated #22 UTSA in 2021. Looking a little further back, are you forgetting about the season we beat Rice and Texas Tech on the road, and also nearly beat Texas at DKR?

      You sound like the idiots on the Minnesota board. One can't always just look at conference affiliation and automatically assume "yeah that team is good/bad" dependent on that alone.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I can’t go back 20 years, but with the last DC we paid a lot for someone who didn’t know how to adapt to his personnel or recruit Texas or have any relations with high school coaches in Texas Then let him hire position coaches that were only GA’s (no recruiting trail opportunities). So we tried not spelling Texas. And you see where we lack depth on defense and it’s all attributed to those relationships. In G5 conferences we have to get THAT guy. It’s important on signing day and the transfer portal. But I can see the frustration. But if I’m wrong it sure not the first time

      If losing to MS is now acceptable we have low expectations.
