Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Notre Dame set to hire Jack Swarbrick, per sources

Mike Frank at Irish Eyes was probably the first to have it, but Blue-Gray Sky has confirmed that Notre Dame is set to hire alum Jack Swarbrick as Athletic Director sometime in the next few days.  Notre Dame, who many thought would bring in experienced alum Steve Orsini, will hire a 1976 graduate of the University who has some serious credentials in the NCAA-world, but none as athletic director.

He was a finalist for the NCAA top job a few years back and had this to say about the job:

"The one thing I came away from absolutely certain of, because it was important to me and I asked it at every stage, was: 'Are you prepared to really have someone lead the organization?' I didn't have any interest in the job if they were looking for an executive director of a membership association. I became very convinced that both at the search committee and executive committee levels they had an absolutely desire to make sure they brought in somebody who was prepared to take the initiative to try and lead the association."

Swarbrick has been a partner at Baker & Daniels in Indianapolis and is a 1980 graduate of Stanford law.  More to follow...
