Notre Dame Will Select New AD Today

The University of Notre Dame will select their new Athletic Director today. Well, they presumably have already selected who it will be, but they’ve been mum about the name of the guy replacing Kevin White. The official announcement will be sometime today, so make sure you Irish fans keep your ears open to find out who it is. The word on the street is that it will be Jack Swarbrick, a lawyer from Indianapolis who used to attend Notre Dame. However, there have been other names mentioned in the hunt for a new AD, so you never know. There could be a surprise today.

Even though the AD job at Notre Dame might seem more like a football story, this still could affect Notre Dame basketball. The Irish are slated to be among the best teams in the nation. Indeed, they will have a high AP Poll ranknig once the first one comes out, as they return nearly their whole roster from last year. The new AD will not have to re-sign coach Mike Brey for a while, but scheduling, recruiting, marketing– these are all things that he could help with.
