Jack Swarbrick will step down as Notre Dame's athletic director next year after a 16-year run in which he helped the school maintain the football program's independent status amid unprecedented realignment by some of the top conferences in the nation.
Notre Dame announced Thursday that NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua will succeed Swarbrick.
Notre Dame officials noted that Bevacqua has been NBC's chief steward of the network's exclusive broadcast rights agreement with Fighting Irish football. This year will mark the 33rd season that NBC has been the home for Notre Dame football home games. Swarbrick fired Charlie Weis as coach in 2009 and replaced him with Brian Kelly, who helped the Fighting Irish play for a national title in 2012 and reach the playoff in 2018 and 2020. When Kelly left for LSU at the end of the 2021 regular season, Swarbrick responded by promoting defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to the head coaching position.
