An Indianapolis attorney who was instrumental in bringing the Super Bowl to the city is said to be Notre Dame's choice to become the next athletics director for the Irish.

Jack Swarbrick is a 1976 graduate of the University who later attained his law degree at Stanford. He is a lawyer for the Baker and Daniels firm.

Swarbrick has an extensive background in amateur athletics, having served in several capacities to promote Indianapolis as the amateur athletic capital of the United States.

He's been associated with the Indiana Sports Commission for the past 20 years. He reportedly was in the running to become president of the NCAA before that position went to Dr. Myles Brand.

It's believed that the official announcement will be made on Wednesday at Notre Dame.

I can gurantee who will have the last laugh...and it won't be the ND fans! HA! I loved watching every game last year. I turned the sound down and played circus music. It was amazing how everything went together. It's as if the players were listening to the same stuff!

RIF and Bob, you give Margaret too much credit- she probably saw ND in the title and went straight to the comment section- skipping the article entirely. Had to get that witty jab in there... "Who cares?" Oooohhh... good one! George- aren't you supposed to cite your sources when you quote? Did you see that on ihatend.org or is it coming from a reliable source? I would like to read that article.

You guys are funny....better than watching TV. Did you guys ever think of being a writer for the late night shows. Please keep it up, its great material. I see RIF only wrote 11 words....to answer Margaret, he must be feeling poorly. Only a month and a half away from the season to start, then we'll see who has the last laugh.

Margaret, I'm with you, I don't care either.

Why is this news? Maybe O'bama is going to be the next athletic director! Maybe the sun is going to fall causing all this global warming. Its not new until it happens...

You must, you read the article.

Saw this comment elsewhere and found it appropriate: "He is not good enough for Ohio State. He is not good enough for Arizona State. He is not good enough for the Big 12. He is a serial "applier." I think it is perfect for him to go to Notre Dame, a school that always thinks it is more important than everyone else."

Wow....that's a good idea...NOT

I was hoping for Steve Orsini from SMU. I do not know much about Swarbrick. Hopefully he has the spine to stand up to the personalities in the athletic department. One in particular.

Hopefully he can do a better job than the corporate dweebs they have had in the past. I doubt it.He looks like a character from the Muppet Show.
