...who is more than a little...suspicious...skeptical...overly cautious about an NBC executive with no experience running a major athletic program, especially from a corp that said school has had long standing TV ties with?? The professionalization (yeah, I probably made up this word) and corporatization of college sports is at its next step. Hire a guy who you think will make money, not necessarily produce a winning program. Make money selling a product first, winning, well, that would be nice but not a primary goal.

A key part of the AD job at ND. That is how Swarbrick viewed it and apparently that is the prevailing view at the top of ND. Winning on the field is assumed and brand management, TV and legal expertise is what is needed. We are bigger than hiring experienced, successful practioners in their field. That approach is more for hiring Deans and Professors and Facilities Managers (and hopefully coaches).
