| Pete Bevacuqua |
University of Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., announced that Pete Bevacqua will succeed Jack Swarbrick as vice president and Director of Athletics when he steps down in 2024.
Swarbrick will continue to run the athletics operations at Notre Dame for the remainder of 2023. But at the same time he will begin mentoring Bevacqua.
Bevacqua is a Notre Dame graduate himself and has been the chairman for NBC Sports the past several years. Prior to that Bevacqua was the CEO of the PGA of America.
Bevacqua's current position at NBC gives him a unique background in which to try and navigate the ever-changing landscape of televised sports, which is such a big component, to Notre Dame's football independence. And it no doubt made him an attractive candidate to replace Swarbrick.
Bevacqua will start July 1 in the role of Special Assistant to the President for Athletics, under Swarbrick, before taking on the role.
