That's not a slam against Gene Smith, its just that the ND AD job is just so much more than any other AD job in college sports. Gene Smith doesn't have to worry about conference affiliations, tv contracts, etc. That's all handled by the B1G.

ND needs Gene Smith +. Is that guy Bevacqua? Who the hell knows? What I do think I know is that ND's fortunes, and continued ability to remain independent in football, is dependent on their ability to generate 'in the same ballpark' revenue for ND as B1G and SEC members take in. That's the 'plus' part of the job that your standard AD isn't qualified to take on. ND's AD has to be a conference of one commissioner as well. I guess we'll see.
