Jack was "General Counsel" (outside-inside, at Baker Daniels) starting appx. 1993 and through his acceptance of the ND job in August 2008. Jack was heavily involved in USAG starting appx. 1990, and chaired the World Championships in 1990.

Fmr. Pres. USAG Steve Penny has stated that during his time as Pres. (2005-2017) "the lawyers" handled the policies about dealing with complaints of abuse.

Nassar started with USAG in 1986. He was indicted for assault that began in 1998.

BOTTOM LINE: Either Swarbrick approved the policy of sticking abuse compliants in a drawer or he was grossly negligent as GC and fleeced USAG of decades' worth of fees.

NDRoman, I would add that you can google Outside General

Counsel and you will get a good idea from the various firms hawking it as to what they do. The idea is to have an outside attorney/firm play the role of GC for entities that don’t have one in house. Often it’s a flat fee so you don’t have to hesitate calling them anytime an issue comes up for fear of racking up hourly fees.

it we would of just won more football game

nobody would even care about the role of a general counsel.

Is there such a thing as Outside Director of Athletics

or Outside Head Football Coach?

Are you offering? You’re hired! For both. *

I’m in discussions with Belichick as we speak. *
